Ok, so I need to build this application where I’ll read images from a http://www.flickr.com account and use the images in my Python app. How will I do that? Any ideas? Thanks.

    You could use one of the various flickr python libraries :

    And for a good overview of flickr API, always look at the docs: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/

    An example:

    import flickrapi
api_key = 'API KEY YYYYYYYYYY' # you will need a key
api_password = 'your secret'
flickrClient = flickrapi.FlickrAPI(api_key, api_password)
# now you could use the methods on this client
# flickrClient.methodname(param)
favourites = flickrClient.favorites_getPublicList(user_id='userid')
# Get the title of the photos
for photo in favourites.photos[0].photo:
    print photo['title']

    [Edit:]

    For authentication look at : http://stuvel.eu/flickrapi/documentation/#authentication
