Flickr: User not Found

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, I've this test code: 

from django.conf import settings
from syncr.app.flickr import FlickrSyncr

f = FlickrSyncr(settings.API_KEY, settings.API_SECRET)

f.syncPublicFavorites('38867769@N04')

seems ok, but it doesn't work. I get this error:

/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/flickrapi-1.2-py2.6.egg/flickrapi/__init_
_.py:45:

flickrapi.exceptions.FlickrError: Error: 1: User not found

How to resolve?

Thanks ;)

Hey patrick... I think in this case you need to pass in the actual username, 
not the
NSID number. We should add a parameter to the sync functions that let you pass 
in an
NSID too...

Warning: Incorrect string value: '\xCB\xA3...' for column 'comment' at row 1

here is the trackback: http://dpaste.com/53387/

Hey Patrick, sorry for my delayed response. This is almost definitely a 
character set
/ collation thing with your database. Wondering if you figured that out already,
though. HTH.
