IMPORTANTThis project is not maintained anymore. If it still works, it is only because of sheer luck. Feel free to contact me if you would like to contribute to pytifys continued existence by becoming a committer. Features- Allows for control of the Spotify media player in Python scripts
- A simple command line syntax for controlling the Spotify media player from console
Installing- Make sure you have Python installed with the Python for Windows extensions. It can be found and downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
- Unzip the latest pytify zip file that can be downloaded from the featured downloads section on this page
