Show HN: Python library for GoPro cameras

We’ve been using this at work. It was a nice starting point for us. Thanks!

A couple of comments:

1. We want to take a bunch of snapshots. We found that taking a picture also saved it to sdcard. And the more pictures on the card, the slower it performed. We ended up writing code to erase the picture we just took after offloading it.

2. We learned that we can’t connec the GoPro to computers USB for power while running this as the camera changes to a different mode. However, a stand alone usb charger worked well while using this. That might be nice to add to the reader.

    gopro.downloadLastMedia()
    gopro.delete("last")

Thanks for the reply! That’s basically what we did.

That might be a nice addition to the readme.
