Hi  
_As there’s no specific ‘programming’ forum I thought I’d post here. If there’s a better one, please let me know._

_I originally posted this to Github, but looking at the response times I thought I’d have better luck here._

A while since I’ve last ran python. Using Windows  
I downloaded & extracted the python folder out of `mapillary_tools-master.zip`  
From a shell command line I ran the upload script & received the following error:  
Any ideas?

```
"C:\Program Files\Python27\python" "I:\Action Camera\python\upload.py" "I:\Action Camera\PHOTO\Test"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "I:\Action Camera\Mapillary python\upload.py", line 6, in <module>
    from lib.uploader import upload_file_list
  File "I:\Action Camera\Mapillary python\lib\uploader.py", line 1, in <module>
    from lib.exif import EXIF
  File "I:\Action Camera\Mapillary python\lib\exif.py", line 5, in <module>
    import exifread
ImportError: No module named exifread

```

Not a python guy, but I _think_ that means that you didn’t download something that’s needed, or have a path incorrect.
