Could you submit a pull request with this fix to ckanclient?

I think ckanclient is pretty much abandoned in its current state. We
want to rewrite it from scratch as a much simpler and thinner client
that supports CKAN's new action API. The code for uploading files
however, will probably be carried forward into the new version.

I believe Daniel Graziotin (on this list) is working on a potental new
API client in Python.
