Hi Jeff,
Oh... that's why... thanks! I tought the mime-type was stored outside
the entry.text.title! because the python API require it to let me
upload the picture... here is the function of my code that upload the
picture:
def upload(self, album, filename):
album_url = '/data/feed/api/user/%s/album/%s' % (
self._username, album.name.text)
file_type = mimetypes.guess_type(filename)[0]
if not file_type:
raise ValueError("Can't guess the mime-type of file '%s'"
%
filename)
self._gd.InsertPhotoSimple(album_url,
filename.split('/')[-1].split('.')[0],
'', filename, content_type=file_type)
in fact, I don't define the entry.title, I just leave python-gdata do
it for me... I use mimetypes module to detect it for InsertPhotoSimple
(). So, this happened because the files I tried to upload had
extension .JPG (my camera use upercase like this)? is that a bug in
the python client API?
in mean time, I'm going to write a script that will check all entries
that don't have a filename extension in entry.title.text and append
one automatically.
thanks!
