ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

I'm running OSX Lion, with Python 2,7,2 installed using Homebrew. I get the above error when I run the import script. It borks on each one with ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded and then moves that .json file into the 'errored' folder.

Could really do with getting this import done ASAP, as my Flickr Pro account runs out in 3 days time and I don't want to have to fork out for a renewal. Here's the full terminal output, leading to the error:

Just tried running the import script on my Debian VPS and got pretty much the same error:

In spite of what searching the intarwebs tells me, I can't believe I'm the only person in the known universe running into this, since I've had exactly the same problem running on two completely different platforms!

Accch! –what an eejit!

I've just realised my problems were entirely down to user error. When adapting the python command:

python import.py --host=username.openphoto.me --consumer-key=****** --consumer-secret=****** --token=****** --token-secret=******

...I'd been so busy making sure I'd filled in all my various keys, secrets and tokens etc. that I'd not noticed I'd overlooked changing the --host=username.openphoto.me part at the start of the line. All chugging along nicely now, although it looks like the import might take quite a while, at the rate it's going.

Anyway, hopefully this might help anyone else suffering from terminal idiocy, like me!
