Dear Maintainer,
Flickr data will be transferred to SmugMug as a result of the company
acquisition. Their announcement including this information:
"We think you are going to love Flickr under SmugMug ownership, but you can
choose to not have your Flickr account and data transferred to SmugMug until
May 25, 2018. If you want to keep your Flickr account and data from being
transferred, you must go to your Flickr account to download the photos and
videos you want to keep, then delete your account from your Account Settings by
May 25, 2018.
If you do not delete your account by May 25, 2018, your Flickr account and data
will transfer to SmugMug and will be governed by SmugMug’s Terms and Privacy
Policy."
I am trying to backup a Flickr account and delete it before this happens.
When executing flickrbackup, the authorization URL seems to redirect to
flickr.com instead of completing the expected authentication.
The following error is then displayed when pressing Enter:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/flickrbackup", line 307, in <module>
(user, token) = froblogin(getfrob(), "read")
File "/usr/bin/flickrbackup", line 134, in froblogin
raise "Login failed"
TypeError: exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException,
not str
I also tried requesting an API and secret and using that in flickrbacup
directly without success.
