gfycat supports uploading a file from the filesystem by first uploading to their amazon s3 bucket with a key, then calling transcode with that key. Please consider adding to gfycatuploader, thanks!

Quick python suggestion.

Currently, you gotta do

from gfycat.gfycat import gfycat
upload = gfycat()

Quick suggestion, first off, maybe titlecase the class (so it's Gfycat)
Or maybe even name it Uploader or GfyUploader

Then, in init.py, you should do from gfycat import Uploader

Now, we can do

from gfycat import Uploader
upload = Uploader()

or

import gfycat
upload = gfycat.Uploader()

Otherwise, great package! Saved me a lot of time, and works flawlessly.
Cheers.

there is no catch for urllib2.HTTPError

When I import the module as usual using ipython2.7 on linux I get the following error:

import gfycat
gfycat.gfycat()

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'gfycat'

I think this is because python confuses the module namespace with the class namespace.
might be relevant

The solution for me was

from gfycat import gfycat
g = gfycat
upload = g.gfycat()

Am I doing something wrong here? Because this should clearly not be the way to access a module.
Shouldn't this class be renamed to avoid any confusion by python or the people using it?

Sometimes when trying to upload a file, you will see this messge:
"Access denied | upload.gfycat.com used CloudFlare to restrict access"
looks like adding simple user-agent to the http headers will solve this

I think that this will be a nice option to have
