Unfortunately you can't rely on that. It seems that the latest
version on github didn't change the version number since the last
release on PyPi. So please make sure, that you're definitely
using the github repository
(https://github.com/okfn/ckanclient.git).

I'm not sure where 'Found' comes from, but the empty string in
tuple[0] indicates an error. The upload_file method in ckanclient
should return the location of the uploaded file.
