This is PyXMMS, a Python interface to XMMS (the X MultiMedia System), an audio
(and video) player currently (13 March 2002) running on Unix platforms.

PyXMMS is a set of Python bindings for all the xmms_remote_* functions
accessible through the libxmms library (which comes with XMMS), plus a few
higher-level functions that I (Florent Rougon) find useful.

PyXMMS is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL.

PyXMMS is fully documented through Python docstrings. Handy ways to access to
this documentation are to use the pydoc standalone program or Python module.

You can type "pydoc xmms" at the command prompt in PyXMMS base
directory. Alternatively, you can type:
  - "import pydoc, xmms; pydoc.help(xmms)" at a Python 2.1 command prompt (and
    probably any earlier version with pydoc installed)
  - "import xmms; help(xmms)" at at a Python 2.2 command prompt (and probably
    any later version)

To browse it as if it were HTML files, you can launch an HTTP server listening
on port 1234 with "pydoc -p 1234 &" (yes, it is damn easy!) and simply browse
on http://localhost:1234/ afterwards.

Alternatively, you can dump the current xmms.py documentation (as found by
Python if you did "import xmms") as an html file with "pydoc -w xmms". This
will generate xmms.html in the current directory.

See the pydoc module's documentation for more information.
