https://github.com/mwunsch/tumblr
Now, unlike Python, this package is easy to install:
sudo apt-get install rubygems
gem install tumblr-rb
that's it.
Wow, Ruby is so great! Wait, too bad it doesn't work either:
tumblr authorize
It's stuck.
Nevermind, it can't be a Python or Ruby Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20063390.post-62497080927847064042013-01-05T14:44:00.002+01:002013-01-16T11:26:43.221+01:00Python wrapper for Tumblr APIhttp://code.google.com/p/python-tumblr/

Well, it's over now, there's a file "known.met" that stores all the filenames that were already downloaded so you can put your old file in the new .aMule directory after you installed a new fresh distro.
