It is the latest and greatest, v1.2.3. I can tell you without a doubt that the following code does not return the last 10 photos uploaded. It appears to be pulling the oldest photos I have in my album instead of the newest. This is the opposite of what occurs using the feed itself (not using the client library).
photos = gd_client.GetUserFeed(kind='photo', limit='10') for photo in photos.entry: print 'Album: ', photo.albumid.text, ' Recently added photo title:', photo.title.text If there's a way you'd like me to document exactly what's happening, let me know and I'll do it. The fact that this functionality isn't working appears to be common knowledge in the forum, with people citing flickr as currently having the needed functionality. In the meantime, I've created a workaround by creating a seperate album to pull photos from, where I know the latest photos will be kept. -Ray On Dec 16, 4:21 pm, Jeff Fisher <api.jfis...@google.com> wrote: > I spoke with the maintainer of the Python client library.
