Learning Pyhton (Seriously this time)
I wanted to upload some 30 photos to Picasa. The web interface only allows 5 photos in one time and the Picasa client, on my 64bit Fedora 11, was not working properly. I thought there must be a command line interface to Picasa. I had downloaded the gdata api and I liked the interface that 'docs_example.py' provided. So I started hacking that python code to run for Picasa. It got interesting. I managed a simple script to list the albums and to upload any number of photos to any album.
I liked the simplicity of Python. So I started reading the book "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist". The book was very interesting. I have completed it. I have a background of BASH and Perl programming, so I was never comfortable with OOPs. This book gives very gentle introduction to OOPs.
Now, I want to include Python in my work to. I am a sysad, so I have to write many scripts. I started to write them in BASH, then moved on to Perl. I think its time to move to Python.
I am also planning a small personal project : picasa-cli - it will provide ftp like interface to Picasa. You could create, delete albums, upload, delete, edit photos and easily browse all photos and albums.
