First of all thanks for putting together this package - use it in my home photo-server to upload to flickr.
However when I my server in windows (v7) OS platform it failed to upload photos to flickr giving a message "3: General upload failure". Going through the code I found the error was in how the file is being read in upload.post - it uses open(photo_file).read() to load the image data. However as noted here (https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/inputoutput.html, section 7.2) the default flags can have problems with binary files in windows.
The problem was solved when I included "rb" flags (i.e open(photo_file,"rb").read()). This change would make the package truly OS independent.
