Uploading photos with flickrapi

Extremly simple. To obtain api_key/api_secret one has to register. User authentication (obtaining auth_token/oauth_token_secret) is performed first time the script below is executed. The credentials are stored in ./flickr/oauth-tokens.sqlite.

I experienced an error sqlite3.OperationalError: no such table while using genuine flickrapi (ie installed from a Debian package). Installing via pip install fixed the problem. Also perms should be write not read as in a documentation (https://stuvel.eu/flickrapi-doc/3-auth.html#non-web-applications) Thats all...

#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# pip install flickrapi
