Error: 116 The POST method is now required for all setters

Suddenly I'm getting this error. Perhaps flickr changed the API? Or is this a very local problem?

Im not pyhton dev. But this is what i think is the problem.

Apologies for this unannounced change, but all methods of the Flickr API that change state now require the HTTP > POST method. If you make a GET request to them, you will see the following error:

rsp stat="fail"
err code="7734" msg="The POST method is now required for all setters"
rsp

source http://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/37387/

And the lines:
https://github.com/ept/uploadr.py/blob/master/uploadr/uploadr.py#L360-L365

Should be changed to post method.

I'm also getting this error. Its very frustrating, as I was depending on this script for my photobooth app. I don't understand the code enough to change it to this new method. If you figure out, please share. Thanks!!
