Flickr API for Ruby

Found a link on the Flickr site to a Flickr API for Ruby library. Looks pretty good and inludes image upload capabilities. I like the documentation:

# see code to understand stuff

Well, fortunately, I can understand the code, which is straightforward enough but bears the mark of Python styling, with underscored variable names and methods indicating "hidden".

@__id = id
@__owner = owner
@__dateuploaded = dateuploaded

Perfectly OK code, but not how I'd do it. Nonetheless, all I need is a decent library so that I can build some commandline tools so that I can do things like:

ls -1 . fam*.jpg| xargs -i flickr_upload --family=1
--public=0 --tags='family' {}

Not pretty if you're not a commandline person, but it's nice to be able to just run the command and go have supper rather than upload six at a time through the web interface.

Hope to get something going in the next week along this road.
