I could put it on Google Code, but I figure I try Assembla out since somebody else recommended this to me before. Assembla maybe a bit of fluff, but I’ll give it a whirl for now.

myPyTunes has been recoded and I’m planning to classify (OOP) it for the next update. Another step will be to make it a fully integrated web application with server so it’s completely portable. In due time I guess, but until then, here is the link to the Main Website and SVN

I liked this, but I felt I needed a bit more flexibility (meaning I want it coded in something i know better), and I really like Python (especially when i decide to classify this script), so I decided to port it over to Python.

I found this useful to have installed on the Mac Mini sitting on a desk while i was across the room on my Powerbook. Very handy since I didn’t want to have to get up every time I wanted to change the song, or pause it when the phone rang, etc.

So far its a pretty clean traslation over with a few modified functions, and a few functions I’ve thrown in from other posts I had seen, or functions I feel would be cool to be added.

I’ve only tested this on OSX 10.4.11 – iTunes 7.6, so even though I believe it should work on other versions of iTunes/OSX, don’t take my word for it, but please let me know if you do run into any problems with it.

Right now i’ll upload the file along with this blog, but i’ll be sure to use a versioning tool as i make updates.

Download myPyTunes here – Right click the link and choose “Save As..”
