I tried Commonist.  It crashed halfway through with half the files supposedly transferred, when my internet connection dropped briefly.  None of my files ended up on commons, because apparently all the images in the batch need to upload and the tool does some final step to complete the upload.  Though, commonist has worked in the past for me. Well, as I'm typing this, I found that a few photos from earlier today seem to have uploaded, probably with Commonist.  I'm trying it again, hopefully my internet connection won't drop.  At least Commonist saved descriptions and other information previously entered.

As for pywikipedia,I don't mind programming a little bit, but don't imagine it's a good use of my time when other tools exist.   I don't need a custom tool, but a standard one that everyone can use, including newbies would be best.

Hi Aude,

Checkout Commonist,  http://djini.de/software/commonist/

You can also use the pywikipedia bot framework to make custom
uploaders. It's not a good recommendation for people who aren't
comfortable with programming and probably doesn't make sense for 35
images, but in cases where you want to upload more and need to do some
smart things with the description text it can be useful.
