Python Grabber scripts Options

[2E7AH]

Some users reported errors using the scripts I posted here
The errors are result of incorrectly saving the copied scripts, probably indentation errors, so I'm posting those scripts as ready made files here:

Don't worry about it! I made something that works, although I'm sure the code will make any regular Python programmer wince.

To summarize, this (horrible, but working) modification of 2E7AH's Last.FM genre-tagging script will fetch the 3 most similar artists from last.fm and write them to a tag, f.ex "Hidria Spacefolk; Gong; Kingston Wall".

CODE

import urllib
from xml.dom import minidom
from encodings import utf_8
from grabber import LyricProviderBase

class LastFm_TopTag(LyricProviderBase):
def GetName(self):
return "LastFm Similarity"

def GetVersion(self):
return "0.1"

def GetURL(self):
return "http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/"

def Query(self, handles, status, abort):
result = []
api_key = 'b25b959554ed76058ac220b7b2e0a026'

for handle in handles:
status.Advance()

if abort.Aborting():
return result

artist = handle.Format("[%artist%]")
title = handle.Format("3")

try:
string=urllib.urlopen('http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=artist.getsimilar&artist=' + artist.lower().replace(' ','+') + '&limit=' + title.lower().replace(' ','+') + '&api_key=' + api_key).read()
doc = minidom.parseString(string)
child = doc.getElementsByTagName("artist")[0]
toptag1 = child.getElementsByTagName("name")[0]
child = doc.getElementsByTagName("artist")[1]
toptag2 = child.getElementsByTagName("name")[0]
child = doc.getElementsByTagName("artist")[2]
toptag3 = child.getElementsByTagName("name")[0]
lyric = toptag1.childNodes[0].data.encode('utf_8').capitalize() + ('; ') + toptag2.childNodes[0].data.encode('utf_8').capitalize() + ('; ') + toptag3.childNodes[0].data.encode('utf_8').capitalize()
result.append(lyric)
except Exception, e:
traceback.print_exc(file=sys.stdout)
result.append('')
continue

return result

if __name__ == "__main__":
LyricProviderInstance = LastFm_TopTag()

I made something that works

Now that's a feeling

No, I've tested it on thousands of files already and it does work - at least on my computer, my foobar and my media library. Maybe not always, but most of the time. You should know the code well .. You wrote most of it after all.

edit:

By the way, to all who are interested in such scripts - it should also be possible to fetch information about artists from Wikipedia. It sometimes contains information like bands and artists' countries of origin which might not be available elsewhere. One obvious problem with that is that if you do a search for "KISS" for example, you will get to an article about kissing and not the band. However, I found a blog entry which has a simple workaround for this problem and provides a python code example. The solution is to use the musicbrainz database to find the right wikipedia article as that information gets stored in entries there.

If any Python clever people want to look into it, check here : http://www.davidcraddock.net/2008/09/22/sc...artists-part-2/
