Following instruction at http://escience.washington.edu/get-help-now/sqlshare-python-api

This is a walk through (with a Biologist) installing the python tools to interface with SQLShare on a Mac. This was done in Terminal in my home directory.

Test passed!

Ok here is where it might get a little tricky. You have to create a simple text file in a _hidden_ directory. I created this in my home user folder, for me this was inside my user folder _sr320_ 
sr320$ mkdir ".sqlshare"

I then created a text filed called config

[sqlshare]
host=rest.sqlshare.escience.washington.edu
user=your-sql-share-account-name
password=your-sql-share-account-key

I then moved this file to the hidded directory .sqlshare

mv config .sqlshare/config
Now lets test it out..

cd to tools folder...

python singleupload.py -d NopePass /Users/sr320/Dropbox/Steven/LT_UniqueCounts.txt

Some thoughts. My assumption is that without the config file it would still work you would just have to include user name and API each time.

python singleupload.py -h
Usage: singleupload.py [options] <filename>

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -u USERNAME, --user=USERNAME
                        SQLshare user name
  -p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD
                        SQLshare password
  -d DATASETNAME, --datasetname=DATASETNAME
                        Dataset name (defaults to filename if not supplied
