What is it?

pynewsposter is a yEnc capable USENET bulk binary poster. I couldn't find anything useful that doesn't run on Windows, so I wrote one in Python. Should run just fine on Linux/BSD/etc, Mac OS X (possibly 9?), and Windows, assuming you have the relevant Python distribution installed.

Features

Quite simple. Just put the files you want to post in a directory, and run the app to find out how to post it.
Will resume posts! Perfect for when you want to go and do something else with your internet connection for a while. Just press Ctrl-C to stop, and run it again later :)
Doesn't need any wacky extra modules for Python! Uses only standard libraries, everything else is written in Python.

Requirements

Python 2.1 or later

Installation

Unpack the archive somewhere: tar zxvf pynewsposter-x.y.z.tar.gz
Change to the pynewsposter-x.y.z directory
Copy defaults.conf to ~/.pynewsposter.conf. If you don't know where your home dir is, run python pynewsposter.py asdjkhfljkj /tmp and it will tell you the name of the file it's looking for :)
Edit the options in your .pynewsposter.conf to suit your tastes.
Run it and read the usage information: python pynewsposter.py
