flickrapi.auth.OAuthFlickrInterface error during upload

[rodmur]

I'm seeing the following issue when I try to upload, it will do several images before it craps out. Am I just handling the oauth authentication wrong? Or do I just need to add code to re-attempt the upload?

No handlers could be found for logger "flickrapi.auth.OAuthFlickrInterface"

flickrapi.exceptions.FlickrError: do_upload: Status code 500 received

Here's the code, I won't claim it's good, but it has worked in the past:

#!/usr/bin/python
import flickrapi
import os
import sys

api_key='XXXXXXXXXXX'
api_secret='XXXXXX'

mydir = sys.argv[1]
taglist = sys.argv[2:]

mytags = " ".join(taglist)

print "tags: %s" % mytags 

flickr = flickrapi.FlickrAPI(api_key, api_secret)
flickr.authenticate_via_browser(perms='write')

def func(progress, done):
   if done:
        print "Done uploading"
    else:
        print "At %s%%" % progress

files = sorted([f for f in os.listdir(mydir) if not f.startswith('.')])
for name in files:
  fname = os.path.join(mydir, name)
   print "File: %s" % name
   tit = name.split('.')[0]
   flickr.upload(filename=fname,title=tit,tags=mytags,is_public=0,callback=func)

Hi @rodmur, best if you present your code indented and marked with pythonkeyword like this. Check notes here!

def func(progress, done):
    if done:
        print "Done uploading"
    else:
        print "At %s%%" % progress

Now to your question, based on this link, I understand error 500 to be a server error. So I suggest to retry the operation.

You can also wrap the upload around try/except sequence to catch additional error situations.

Check this gist and
this somehow complex (I know... still cleaning it up a bit...once I have the time) example of such code here

I found situations in which Flickr refuses to accept some files due to their format (in particular some videos) or size.

okay, fixed the markdown, at least. I'll look into the gist, thanks!
