Hey Carl,

I'm sorry it didn't work for you, I wonder what happened. It did work for
me from my local machine, but when I tried from PythonAnywhere so that I
could show you how to work it I couldn't get past the browser session (that
opened in lynx, heh).

Here's what I did on my end:

I first created a virtualenv (I'm using virtualenvwrapper) and installed
googlecl:

    $ mkvirtualenv yt
    $ pip install googlecl

I then tested using a fake video file because I didn't have a video file
immediately available:

    $ touch video.avi
    $ google youtube post --category Education video.avi
    Please specify user: nick271828 at gmail.com
    Please log in and/or grant access via your browser at
https://www.google.com/accounts/OAuthAuthorizeToken?oauth_token=4%2FHwuLDEG4C1FWDt2tL9aE7R6Zy2XN&hd=defaultthen
hit enter.
    Loading video.avi
    {'status': 400, 'body': 'No file found in request.', 'reason': 'Bad
Request'}

Since I was working from my local machine, it automatically opened the auth
page in Firefox. After this I went and found a real video file and uploaded
it:

    $ google youtube post Emperor-Sample.avi
    Please specify category: Entertainment
    Loading Emperor-Sample.avi
    Video uploaded:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9fJpccXJmI&feature=youtube_gdata

In any case, perhaps this is not the tool you're looking for. This is a
swiss army knife of gdata tools but you just want a simple youtube scalpel
that's really sharp.

Nick
