Project description
Synopsis
pytagdump is a simple utility to print the ID3/tag info of various files supported by the “mutagen” package.
Installation
To install, simply:
pip install pytagdump
You might have to be root (or use sudo) for pip to install the script into a globally executable directory in your $PATH.
For JSON output support, make sure you have at least Python v2.6 (or install the simplejson package for Python v2.5).
For YAML output support, make sure you install the PyYAML package.
Optonally, you can use pip’s setuptools extras syntax to have either (or both) of these packages automatically installed for you. e.g. pip install pytagdump[JSON,YAML]
pip should automatically install mutagen for you, but the advanced user can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/mutagen/

Examples
pytagdump [OPTIONS] ~/Music/*.mp3

pytagdump [OPTIONS] "~/Music/Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up.mp3"
