A lightweight spotify CLI
Project description
spoppy
Lightweight Spotify Command-Line interface for Linux
Requirements
Python 2.7 or Python 3.3+
See requirements.txt for required python packages. They will be automatically installed when you install via pip.
You will need a Spotify Premium account and a Spotify username (if you signed up via Facebook you can follow the instructions here to get your username).
You will need libspotify, libffi-dev and libasound2-dev installed.
Use your distribution’s package manager for libffi-dev and libasound2-dev (f.x. apt-get install libffi-dev libasound2-dev
).
To install libspotify, see Pyspotify installation. (It’s also available in the AUR).
For DBus integration you’ll need python-dbus and python-gobject2. Use your distribution’s package manager. Spoppy will work without these packages but won’t expose it’s DBus procedures.

pip install spoppy
To install globally you will probably need superuser privileges.
After installation run spoppy
in your terminal and you’re all set!
