A Python script to grab all your photos from flickr and dump them into a directory, organized into folders by set name.

Original author is Colm MacCárthaigh.

Changes include tweaks to download full-size original images and improvements in handling UTF8 file and photoset names.

Run it like this:

mkdir FlickrBackupFolder
python flickrtouchr.py FlickrBackupFolder

You’ll be prompted to authorize with Flickr, and then the magic happens.
