Using pYTerm as a library

ALL LIBRARY FUNCTIONS AND CLASSES ARE STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND MAY NOT WORK OR BEHAVIORS MAY CHANGE.

pYTerm is able to be imported as a library how you would with any other python library:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import pYTerm

The next thing to do is to make a player object, and you are ready to use the methods when they are working.

from pYTerm import pYTerm

# Initializes a player object from the player class.
player = pYTerm.player(richPresenceID=True,  # -rp argument (can be a boolean or RPC ID
                       quiet=False,  # Whether the player will output to the console (also disables user input)
                       debug=False,  # Whether pYTerm logs will be printed
                       vlclogs=False,  # Whether VLC logs will be printed
                       forceaudiostream=True,
                       # Forces the use of audio streams, reduces bandwidth and might increase quality at the cost of stability
                       wait=True,
                       # If true it will halt the program if go() gets run if false it will run in a thread and continue the program
                       allowInput=True,  # Whether or not user input will be accepted
                       songs=None,  #
                       playlistFile=None,
                       shuffle=False,
                       loop=False,
                       volume=100,
                       fr=False,
                       autoplay=False,
                       keepAlive=False)

player.playSong("Benz Truck lil peep")  # Not functional at the moment.
# This should play a song using pYTerm the only arg needed is the search query
# for the song or the link to the song.

player.pause()  # Should work
player.unpause()  # Should work
player.togglepause()  # Should work
# These three methods should pause, unpause, or toggle pause for the player.

player.go()  # Unknown status
# go runs the main playlist and must be called if you want playlist functionality;
# like keeping track of the songs, being able to use next() and previous(), using the loop option in the class init, and stuff like autoplay.
