Getting Started
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here's some simple code example to get you started. In order to create any object from pyLast, you need a `Network` object which represents a social music network that is Last.fm or any other API-compatible one. You can obtain a pre-configured one for Last.fm and use it as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
import pylast
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# You have to have your own unique two values for API_KEY and API_SECRET
|
||
|
|
# Obtain yours from http://www.last.fm/api/account/create for Last.fm
|
||
|
|
API_KEY = "b25b959554ed76058ac220b7b2e0a026" # this is a sample key
|
||
|
|
API_SECRET = "425b55975eed76058ac220b7b4e8a054"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# In order to perform a write operation you need to authenticate yourself
|
||
|
|
username = "your_user_name"
|
||
|
|
password_hash = pylast.md5("your_password")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
network = pylast.LastFMNetwork(api_key=API_KEY, api_secret=API_SECRET,
|
||
|
|
username=username, password_hash=password_hash)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Now you can use that object everywhere
|
||
|
|
artist = network.get_artist("System of a Down")
|
||
|
|
artist.shout("<3")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
track = network.get_track("Iron Maiden", "The Nomad")
|
||
|
|
track.love()
|
||
|
|
track.add_tags(("awesome", "favorite"))
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Type help(pylast.LastFMNetwork) or help(pylast) in a Python interpreter
|
||
|
|
# to get more help about anything and see examples of how it works
|
||
|
|
```

Testing
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[tests/test_pylast.py](tests/test_pylast.py) contains integration tests with Last.fm, and plenty of code examples. Unit tests are also in the [tests/](tests/) directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For integration tests you need a test account at Last.fm that will become cluttered with test data, and an API key and secret. Either copy [example_test_pylast.yaml](example_test_pylast.yaml) to test_pylast.yaml and fill out the credentials, or set them as environment variables like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
export PYLAST_USERNAME=TODO_ENTER_YOURS_HERE
|
||
|
|
export PYLAST_PASSWORD_HASH=TODO_ENTER_YOURS_HERE
|
||
|
|
export PYLAST_API_KEY=TODO_ENTER_YOURS_HERE
|
||
|
|
export PYLAST_API_SECRET=TODO_ENTER_YOURS_HERE
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run all unit and integration tests:
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
pip install pytest flaky mock
|
||
|
|
py.test
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or run just one test case:
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
py.test -k test_scrobble
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run with coverage:
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
py.test -v --cov pylast --cov-report term-missing
|
||
|
|
coverage report # for command-line report
|
||
|
|
coverage html # for HTML report
|
||
|
|
open htmlcov/index.html
|
||
|
|
```
