AttributeError: 'Photo' object has no attribute 'delete'

Hi,
Thanks for project, good work :)

When I try upload video (mov ~ 285mb), get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./folders2flickr", line 8, in
f2flickr.uploadr.main()
File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/f2flickr/uploadr.py", line 663, in main

photo.delete()

return super(Photo, self).getattribute(key)
AttributeError: 'Photo' object has no attribute 'delete'

I tried convert video (e.g mp4) and doesn't work,
Other files *.mov work fine. Only this one file doesn't want upload.
How fix it?
Thanks for reply

That snippet of code is when the file is already on flickr - first it tried to remove the old version then it would have tried to upload the new version. Does that sequence of events fit with the file you had? I'll see if I can reproduce it, I haven't tried a video file so large before but if others work I don't think it's size related.

Oh man, just looked at the code. There's no way this could have worked, what a bug. thanks for the report.

I removed from Flickr and still the same. I sent the files up to 700 mb (video) and work.

Before error i get:

I'm having the same issue after doing the followings:
1/ start uploading pictures
2/ notice you're uploading the wrong folder, ctrl+c the script
3/ Delete the pictures from flickr
4/ Try to re-upload the same picture under a different directory tree

Any possible work around for this bug? I am having the same issue. I started uploading and cancelled via Ctrl-C and upon restart, I get AttributeError: 'Photo' object has no attribute 'delete'

Further update - this isn't just related to cancelling the script. If I change the time on local file and rerun the script to force an upload, I get the same no attribute 'delete' error.

[bnixon67]

I was able to fix this by adding a delete method to the Photo class. There are multiple versions of flickr.py available and the version include in this project doesn't have this method.

In flickr.py:

def delete(self):
    """Delete photo from flickr
    (flickr.photos.delete)
    """
    method = 'flickr.photos.delete'

    _dopost(method, auth=True, photo_id=self.id)

Thanks for investigating this. It broke with the feature to re-upload a changed photo.

[richq]

Hmm the plot thickens - https://github.com/richq/folders2flickr/blob/master/f2flickr/flickr.py#L539 - the delete method is in this version of flickr.py... could you have another version on your PYTHONPATH that is picked up first?

[therealdealneil]

@richq The line you reference is in the Photoset class instead of Photo. the delete method was removed from the Photo class in commit #43 . I created a pull request #53 which seems to fix it by reintroducing this method.
