Windows\Cygwin\Python error

[qzcw]

Hello.

I tried to run your script on my Windows PC, but it failed do to what appears to be the fcntl-library problem on Windows machines.

So, then I installed Cygwin Linux emulator on Windows with Python installed on it. Now, when trying to run the uploadr script there is not anymore fcntl error message, but instead this:

$ python uploadr.py
--------- Start time: Mon Dec 12 16:19:21 2016 ---------

Setting up the database: flickrdb
Completed database setup

it is an easy fix to get it running in windows. see

Try this fork flickr-uploader and also available on pypi.org also. It should run on Windows.

@qzcw if you don't want to go with this fork flickr-uploader the last pull request #92 adds Windows compatibility.
