Working version of Photo Uploads for Tumblr API V2
import urllib,hmac,time,hashlib,base64,httplib,sys,json,urlparse
## This is just a simple example that is self contained.
## You will need to modified it to make it work
##
## creds - need to be filled out
## blognmae - needs to be defined
##
## reads in image files from the command line and posts to your blog
##
## Your example body will contain something like:
##
## data%5B0%5D= => data[0]=<start binary>
##
## So from here you can gather that it's data[0], data[1] and so on.
##
## This code works for single photos as well as multiple photos
##
## Code was tested usings Python 2.7, no guarantees it'll work for others.
## Usage:
## python gistfilename.py example1.jpg [example2.jpg example3.jpg ...]
##

I get this error popping up, any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "tumblrv2api.py", line 97, in print api.createPost(blogname,params); File "tumblrv2api.py", line 77, in createPost return self._resp(self._postOAuth(url,params),201); File "tumblrv2api.py", line 81, in _resp raise Exception('response code is %d - %s' % (resp.status,resp.read())); Exception: response code is 401 - {"meta":{"status":401,"msg":"Not Authorized"},"response":[]}

I removed an extraneous & which was leftover by accident. Sorry. Gist works now.
