I have done that now, and the error message comes back exactly the same as
it did prior to this change. Lines 83 to 86 of my upload.py file are shown
below, after the change you suggested...

83  class UploadRobot:
84      def __init__(self, url, urlEncoding='utf-8', description=u'',
85                   useFilename=None, keepFilename=False,
verifyDescription=True,
86                   ignoreWarning=False, targetSite=None,
uploadByUrl=False):
