[ckan-dev] API upload failing

[Sean]

Hey guys,

any ideas on this? It's a little frustrating - given I don't know enough about CKAN to debug this properly.

This is my entire script:

=======

ckan = ckanclient.CkanClient(base_location='http://localhost/api', api_key='my_pasword')

status = ckan.upload_file('/home/sean/newfile.txt')

print "uploaded file status: ", status

=======

Which gives: 
uploaded file status:  ('', 'Found')

=======

Apache logs:

[Thu Jul 11 21:42:38 2013] [error] 2013-07-11 21:42:38,703 INFO  [ckan.lib.base]  /api/action/status_show render time 0.002 seconds
