Pycasa – capable of downloading full size images

This open source software includes a GUI. It relies on PyGTK and it is therefore difficult to get it to work with Mac OS X.

This workes on Ubuntu Linux (I already have the PyGTK packages installed, if you haven’t this might complain about it):

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://pycasa-download.googlecode.com/files/Pycasa-1.0.tar.gz
tar -xf Pycasa-1.0.tar.gz
cd pycasa
./Pycasa.py
