python-mpd

==========

Getting python-mpd

------------------

The latest release of python-mpd can be found at

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-mpd/[].

Getting the latest source code

------------------------------

If you would instead like to use the latest source code, you can grab a copy

of the development version from git by running the command:

  git clone http://git.thejat.be/python-mpd.git

Installing from source

----------------------

To install python-mpd from source, simply run the command:

  python setup.py install

You can use the `--help` switch to `setup.py` for a complete list of commands

and their options.  See the http://docs.python.org/inst/inst.html[Installing

Python Modules] document for more details.

Using the client library

------------------------

The client library can be used as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

client = mpd.MPDClient()           # create client object

client.connect("localhost", 6600)  # connect to localhost:6600

print client.mpd_version           # print the mpd version

print client.cmd("one", 2)         # print result of the command "cmd one 2"

client.close()                     # send the close command

client.disconnect()                # disconnect from the server

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A list of supported commands, their arguments (as MPD currently understands

them), and the functions used to parse their responses can be found in

`doc/commands.txt`.  See

http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/MusicPlayerDaemonCommands[MusicPlayerDaemonCommands]

on the http://mpd.wikia.com/[MPD Wiki] for more details.

Command lists are also supported using `command_list_ok_begin()` and

`command_list_end()`:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

client.command_list_ok_begin()       # start a command list

client.update()                      # insert the update command into the list

client.status()                      # insert the status command into the list

results = client.command_list_end()  # results will be a list with the results

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commands may also return iterators instead of lists if `iterate` is set to

`True`:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

client.iterate = True

for song in client.listallinfo():

    print song["file"]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extra care must be taken to exhaust the iterator before executing *any* other

commands.
