+Python MusicPlayerDaemon client module
+***************************************
-Getting python-musicpd
-----------------------
+An MPD (Music Player Daemon) client library written in pure Python.
-The latest release of python-musicpd can be found at
-http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-musicpd.
+----
-
-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 git://git.kaliko.me/python-musicpd.git
-
-
-Installing from source
-----------------------
-
-To install python-musicpd from source, simply run the command::
-
- python3 setup.py install
-
-You can use the `--help` switch to `setup.py` for a complete list of commands
-and their options. See the `Installing Python Modules`_ document for more details.
-
-
-Using the client library
-------------------------
-
-The client library can be used as follows::
-
- client = musicpd.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 the `MPD protocol documentation`_ 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.playlistinfo():
- print song['file']
-
-Each command have a *send\_<CMD>* and a *fetch\_<CMD>* variant, which allows to
-send a MPD command and then fetch the result later.
-This is useful for the idle command::
-
- >>> client.send_idle()
- # do something else or use function like select()
- # http://docs.python.org/howto/sockets.html#non-blocking-sockets
- # ex. select([client], [], [])
- >>> events = client.fetch_idle()
-
- # more complex use for example, with glib/gobject:
- >>> def callback(source, condition):
- >>> changes = client.fetch_idle()
- >>> print changes
- >>> return False # removes the IO watcher
-
- >>> client.send_idle()
- >>> gobject.io_add_watch(client, gobject.IO_IN, callback)
- >>> gobject.MainLoop().run()
