Marvel at how simple it makes uploading images to Flickr, and how well it works.

Then run python setup.py install --prefix=prefix and run prefix/bin/postr. Try to upload an image and note how it hangs. A little debugging reveals that it is hanging on mimetools.choose_boundary(), and I have no idea why. I've probably made a stupid typo somewhere, can anyone spot the problem?
