Following the grand tradition of rewriting new programs instead of improving existing ones, I've written a Flickr upload tool in Python. It's called Postr, but luckily that string isn't exposed in the UI.

Flickr Uploader

It's not yet ready for a 0.1 release, although it's close. You can drag-and-drop images to the application, set the title, description, and tags, and then upload. It tries to be clever: the EXIF thumbnail is used in the interface if it exists to avoid loading the entire image, and if the image contains an EXIF ImageDescription field that is used for the description automatically. My next task is to fetch the list of tags and present them to the user in a useful way.

If anyone wants to have a play with it, then the source is available via bzr in this repository.
