Photo posting script - Thread - Urban Exploration Resource

So, my usual workflow for posting photos here is:
1) Upload to Flickr as a set
2) Go through each photo and
2.1) Copy the image url
2.2) Paste into a thread as [eimg]http://flickr.com/whatever/123.jpg[/eimg]
3) Preview the page, and go resize each image using the [img=100,200][/img]syntax
4) Post

So, being the lazy bum I am, I threw together a little python script last night to do this for me. It's a really rough, prototypical thing, and has 0 error handling, but it works. You give it a username, a flickr set name, a maximum width, and tell it whether you want your [eimg]s wrapped in [url]s, and it gives you back a list like:

[url=http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4715644312_d89d761d28_o.jpg][img=600,399]http://far m5.static.flickr.com/4016/4715644312_4c2f54aaf0_b.jpg[/eimg][/url]

Anyway, all you need is Python and this guy's python flickr kit. I'm planning to eventually clean it up and give it a web interface at some point (right now the UI is just editing the variables in the script), but I figured people here might find it useful as it is if they're able to intall a python module and run a python program. Script:


import flickrapi
 
userName="macman5151"
setName="Summer Camp"
targetSize="Large"
maxWidth = 600;
makeLinks = False;
 
def formatToPrint(source,url,width,height):
	newHeight=height
	newWidth=width
	if(maxWidth<width):
		 newHeight = int(height * ((1.0*maxWidth)/(width)))
		newWidth = int(maxWidth)
	img = "[img="+str(newWidth)+","+str(newHeight)+"]"+source+"[/img]"
	result = "[url="+url+"]"+img+"[/url]"
	return result if makeLinks else img
 
api_key = '7c0d60047e1d56575439268441bfcb26'
flickr = flickrapi.FlickrAPI(api_key)
 
userTree = flickr.people_findByUsername(username=userName)
userId = userTree.getchildren()[0].attrib['nsid']
setTree = flickr.photosets_getList(user_id=userId)
photosets = setTree.getchildren()[0].getchildren()
 
setId = -1;
for photoset in photosets:
	title = photoset.find('title').text
	if(setName==title):
		setId = photoset.attrib['id']
		break
 
photoset = flickr.photosets_getPhotos(photoset_id=setId).getchildren()[0]
height=-1
width=-1
url = ''
for photo in photoset.getchildren():
	id = photo.attrib['id']
	sizes = flickr.photos_getSizes(photo_id=id).getchildren()[0]
	for size in sizes:
		if(size.attrib['label']==targetSize):
			width = int(size.attrib['width'])
			height = int(size.attrib['height'])
			source = size.attrib['source']
		if(size.attrib['label']=='Original'):
			url = size.attrib['source']
	print formatToPrint(source,url,width,height)
