pyspotify-connect 0.1.13

Python wrapper for libspotify-connect

pyspotify-connect provides a Python interface to Spotify Connect’s online music streaming service.

With pyspotify-connect you can create a Spotify Connect player on your device. All from your own Python applications.

pyspotify-connect uses CFFI to make a pure Python wrapper around the libspotify_embedded_shared library. It has been tested on on CPython 2.7 and 3.4, as well as PyPy 2.6. The library is only available for arm linux architectures: armv6 armel and armv7 armhf.

This wrapper is heavily based on the pyspotify wrapper for libspotify and the spotify-connect implementation Spotify Connect Web.
