I think I will be trying pywikipedia. It's not just this batch of ~35, but 100+ more that I also have from Hiroshima, maybe some more from Taiwan, and additional batches that I may have in the future. Overnight, I let Commonist run. It seems to have transferred everything, but failed on the last step -- creating galleries or something.

Feh. Improving that tool (or providing something like it) should be on
our priority list.

I didn't think you would, which is why I mentioned it to you. There
is script in pywikipedia called upload.py
. It will take a file an a
description on its commandline and upload it. When I mass upload I
usually write a little script to wrap it. Hardest part is getting
pywikipedia configured against commons. :(
Not a general solution perhaps, but for you it would do what you want
most likely.
