pyFlickrBrowser : Home

pyFlickrBrowser is a pyGTK based application designed to be a lightweight desktop frontend for Flickr.com. It aims to be a desktop client to browse your photos and photosets, eventually I envision it to be able to update and modify and add photos and do most of the things that you can do via a web-browser. It application is written in pyGTK and the Python Imaging Library (PIL) and a dedicated connection to the internet is required.

Right now it can work on Windows and Linux operating systems but you have to change some parameters. Eventually, I would like to package it for the two environments. Your computer should have both Python and PIL installed. Both of them are relatively easy to get

The idea for this program came when I was looking to learn python and XML handling. Flickr.com provides a whole bunch of API to access, view and modify photos uploaded on the website. I was trying to learn XML handling with python for some other project that I was working on. Eventually, I would like for it to be a complete desktop replacement so that there is no need to open a webbrowser to access Flickr.com.

I am always looking for ideas on how to improve this program. For any requests or feedback please use the various tools available at Sourceforge.net.
