Simplest integration of Spotify into Python
Homepage Repository PyPI Python
pip install pyspotify_helper==0.0.1
Pyspotify Utils
This repository attempts to make it as simple as possible to integrate pyspotify.
It's currently as simple as
# pip install pyspotify_helper
# python
>>> from pyspotify_helper import Spotify
>>> spotify_pro_credentials = { "spotify_name": "", "spotify_password": "" }
>>> Spotify(spotify_pro_credentials).play("Stadium Arcadium", "albums")
Initialization:
Sadly, that simplicity comes after some initialization.
You need a spotify_appkey.key in your project root directory. You can get this following the tutorial at http://pyspotify.mopidy.com/en/latest/quickstart/#application-keys.
Dependencies:
libspotify
pyspotify
Information on installing dependencies at http://pyspotify.mopidy.com/en/latest/installation/.
Usage:
The most important method is play(name, category, shuffle=False). Name is a free-form string that will be searched on Spotify (more info at http://news.spotify.com/us/2008/01/22/searching-spotify/). Category is one of "tracks", "artists", or "albums". Shuffle decides whether or not the music gets shuffled when played.
If no results are found, there will be an error. (IndexError: list index out of range)
The play() method does not block. They return immediately, while a different thread is started to play the music.
There are four methods to control playback: next_track, pause, resume, and pause_toggle.
These methods will cancel the currently playing song when called.
Spotify() returns a singleton. The credentials only need to be passed in the first time you call the function. See the "if __name__ == '__main__':" section.
TODO (As in, questions for you and my future self):
How does searching work with playlists? More specifically, can I easily distinguish between owned playlists and other playlists? What about playlists with the same name?
