Although the tools work, there's a downside compared to iPhoto's built-in Flickr support. iPhoto has wonderful geotagging support, as does Flickr, but iPhoto doesn't write the data to EXIF tags and that poses a problem for the tools. Uploadr reads just the files and so never sees the data, and apparently iPhoto doesn't provide the data to FlickrExport, either. The result is that Flickr won't know the locations of the photos.
NodeBox Research | Photoshop Scripting
To script Photoshop (or any Mac OS X application that uses apple scripting) using Python, you need appscript. Appscript is a wrapper around Applescript and provides an (almost) intuitive OO-approach to scripting. You can compile it yourself, or use my precompiled package. To install the precompiled package, unpack it in /Library/Python/2.3 . There should now be a couple of folders and files: aem, appscript, HTMLTemplate.py and HTMLTemplate.pyc, LaunchServices, osaterminology and osax.

AppleScript: Scripting Bridge
Mac OS X v.10.5 includes a new framework called Scripting Bridge that enables common languages, such as Ruby, Python, and Objective-C, to easily send Apple Events to scriptable applications.
AppleScript: Unicode Support
AppleScript is now entirely Unicode-based. Comments and text constants in scripts may contain any Unicode characters, and all text processing is done in Unicode, so all characters are preserved correctly regardless of the user’s language preferences.
