Through some Googling, I had seen others have not been been to make YUI Uploader play nice with Django's CSRF protection. This may be a self-evident solution, but I thought I'd post in anyway given 1: it works, 2: past troubles with Django CSRF and YUI Uploader. I tested it when YUI Uploader executed via html5 or flash.

For the example on this page:
Multiple Files Upload with Transparent Overlay Button
http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/uploader/uploader-multiple.html

only two lines of code need to be added, and one change made

new lines:
var csrf_value = Y.Cookie.get("csrftoken");
postVarsPerFile: {'csrfmiddlewaretoken': csrf_value}

change to seed line (cookie added):
YUI({filter:"raw"}).use("uploader", "cookie", function(Y) {

this is all saved on a github gist:
