Summary: RFE: non-interactive (CLI) version of ccPublisher

Initial Comment:
One of the things I'm working on is a large shell-script that takes debate 
archives (which I have filmed), and handles the process of editing, titling, 
normalising, format-conversion etc. The resulting files are CC-licensed, and 
I'd like to automatically upload them to archive.org.

However, I'd like to be able to do this *without* a GUI, but via a shell-script 
instead. Is there any chance of a modification to CC-publisher, which might be 
invoked something like this:

./publish.sh --file MYFILE.mpg --author ... --license ... --type ... --date 
.....

This would then upload the file, to archive.org and return the URL of the new 
file as its STDOUT.

Error messages to stderr, and exit code 0 or 1 depending on success/failure. 

Thanks - Richard

For the benefit of anyone else who encounters this bug report, what I
wanted pretty much exists already. It is documented at:

Thanks for a very helpful comment. That's a good start point, and I should
be able to figure it out for myself :-)

liblicense (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/liblicense) includes a command
line tool you can use to embed license metadata in files.  You could use
this in a shell script to prepare the files for uploading.  We're not
actively developing ccPublisher so I don't think we'll be doing a full, end
to end, CLI tool.  Note that the pyarchive Python module (available in CC
svn @ berlios.de) attempts to wrap the archive.org submission API.  YMMV.
