Author: Adeodato Simó <[email protected]>
Date:   Tue Oct 20 01:21:45 2009 +0100

    Redefine SCROBBLE_MODE_PLAYED as "", provide SCROBBLE_MODE_LOVED as "L".

    The 'L' rating is only to be used if the user has manually loved the
    track. For a normal play, the documentation clearly says that the rating
    should be the empty string.

    Fix reference to undefined variable in Track._remove_tag().

What version of pyLast is this?
r214

Please provide any additional information below.

There are a lot of 'list' and 'id' redefines in the code I fixed most of 
them. there are some remaining:

2038:Playlist.__init__: Redefining built-in 'id'
3379:Venue.__init__: Redefining built-in 'id'
3424:md5: Redefining built-in 'hash'

Please type example code that produces the issue:
user.get_loved_tracks()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd like to see something similar to get_recent_tracks() which _does_ include a 
timestamp.

What version of pyLast is this?
0.4

Please provide any additional information below.
Something similar to the get_recent_tracks() method should suffice, and 
shouldn't be to hard to 
implement. I will have a look at it and post some code asap.

In version "0.3 alpha", Library.is_end_of_albums() and
Library.get_albums_page() are broken because you are trying to access the
wrong api methods ("library.get_albums" instead of "library.getAlbums").
Diff attached.

And you should rename the "setup" file to "setup.py", so distutils and
setuptools can find it...

Pylast needs one more period constant = PERIOD_7DAYS.

I am using revision 124, which was current as of last night (Sept 09, 2008).

When I try to authenticate,  get the following error:

<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: 'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable

Apparently sg.getSessionData(token) is returning None rather than a
dictionary with the session key.  I took a look in the source code, and
discovered that this happens when the getSessionData method of the
SessionGenerator object tries to execute a Request, and the an exception is
returned.  In my case the exception raised is a ServiceException.

I should also note that the auth_url appears to work correctly, that is,
according to the last.fm website, I successfully give my application
permission to access my account.  I am accessing my own account, to which
the api key is also registered, but this should not cause a problem.

Any ideas what could be raising this ServiceException?  Also, it might be
nice if the .getSessionData method raised a ServiceException rather than
simply returning None.  Returning None means that developers have to do
some detective work, and it causes unexpected problems.

Any clues as to how to handle this?

Please type example code that produces the issue:
The last.fm api shows that there is a playcount variable returned for this
call http://www.last.fm/api/show?service=282 but it's not extracted into
the results.

    print track.playcount

What version of pyLast is this?

Please provide any additional information below.

the attached diff patch extracts the playcount and the url

Latest last.fm API allows free access to user's avatars so it'll be useful
to move get_cover_image() method from AuthenticatedUser class to its base
class - User.

API calls like getRecentTracks have a Page parameter, which works together with 
the Limit parameter and the totalPages response so that data can be retrieved 
in a per-page basis.

PyLast does not support this.

Since there are other services compatible with last.fm API (such as
libre.fm), it could be interesting to be able to use this library with any
of these services.

Attached you can find a patch of the idea, allowing to initialize the
object with a new service URI, but without break the backward compatibility.

Can we get support for the Geo class so that we can search for events by 
location?  Thanks!

In line 3651 of pylast.py, in method report_now_playing, if scrobbler request 
fails, handshake is forced and submissions_url as well as nowplaying_url are 
obtained. 

These values are never requested elsewhere so if one tries scrobbling without 
reporting nowplaying, as in line 3683 in method scrobble, handshake is not 
performed and scrobbles are never submitted. Probably should be as below 
(replacing line 3683), right?

try:
            ScrobblerRequest(self.submissions_url, params, self.network).execute()
        except BadSessionError:
            self._do_handshake()
            self.scrobble( artist, title, time_started, source, mode, duration, album, track_number, mbid);

The last.fm api exposes the api method track.getBuylinks. 
(http://www.last.fm/api/show?service=431)

Are there any plans of adding a counterpart in pylast? Thanks.

Please type example code that produces the issue:

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem is that the limit parameter has to be passed as a string, for 
instance limit='5' works, 
while limit=5 as an integer does not work. I guess this should be fixed, or at 
least documented

musicbrainz id (mbid) are not stored in the current objects

pyLast-0.2b13

Please provide any additional information below.

This happens both with Python 2.5 and Python 2.6, and I guess the problem is 
related to the 
creation of the MD5 hash with a track that contains non-ASCII characters. The 
last.fm page
http://www.last.fm/api/authspec reminds to "Ensure your parameters are utf8 
encoded.", so the 
problem might be there.

(Thanks again for this package, by the way!!)

IndexError: list index out of range

What version of pyLast is this?

0.4

Please provide any additional information below.

Looking at the code, I think the continue for attribute "nowplaying" should
be first in the track loop, so that no element gets extracted for the now
playing track at all. This seems particularly important for the date
element which is not present in the now playing track, which results in the
above error.

It would be fine if pylast supported 'limit' parameter in the
user.getLovedTracks call.

I can provide a patch to fix it, if that's appreciated.

get_lastfm_netowrk should be get_lastfm_network

This is on your example on the home page @ http://code.google.com/p/pylast/

Please type example code that produces the issue:

user = User('RJ', API_KEY, API_SECRET, SESSION_KEY) 
for playlist in user.getPlaylistIDs() :

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the playlist, instead I see this:

  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-

    return Playlist(uri, self.api_key).fetch()
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 5 arguments (3 given)


What version of pyLast is this?

0.2b11

Please provide any additional information below.

I think the problem is in the definition of User.fetchPlaylist
While the fetchPlaylist function of other classes returns:
    return Playlist(uri, *self.auth_data).fetch()
using self.auth_data,
the fetchPlaylist function of the class User returns:
    return Playlist(uri, self.api_key).fetch()

Please type example code that produces the issue:
def _get_cache_key(self):
        """The cache key is a string of concatenated sorted names and values."""

        keys = self.params.keys()
        keys.sort()

        cache_key = str()

        for key in keys:
            if key != "api_sig" and key != "api_key" and key != "sk":
                cache_key += urllib.quote_plus(key) +
urllib.quote_plus(urllib.quote_plus(self.params[key]))

        return hashlib.sha1(cache_key).hexdigest()


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There are 2 chained calls to urllib.quote_plus which is likely a typo, plus
the key/params are not utf-8 encoded while this is assembled into a str object.

Should be:

cache_key += urllib.quote_plus(key.encode('utf-8')) +
urllib.quote_plus(self.params[key].encode('utf-8'))


What version of pyLast is this?

This happens because the user cheap_mondays has almost 3,000 friends!
http://www.last.fm/user/cheap_mondays/friends
I guess in this case, the function should not crash, but return something or 
wait.

Session key generation is broken because the presence of a session key (sk)
is assumed.

Fixed by testing for the existence of a particular key.

line 1698 of version 0.3.0 is

        return Album(_extract(node, "artist"), _extract(node, "title"))

but it should be

        return Album(_extract(node, "artist"), _extract(node, "title"), self.api_key, self.api_secret, 
self.session_key)

The get_tags() method throws an "Invalid method signature" error, both on Album 
and Artist objects. 
Sample code:

    lastfm = pylast.get_lastfm_network(api_key=API_KEY, api_secret=API_SECRET)
    obj    = lastfm.get_artist('Air')

The import of namedtuple is done by checking sys.version_info, which doesn't 
properly 
implement python 3.0 checking, and isn't really the pythonic way to import any. 

It's pretty easy to fix, just use exceptions instead of checking versions.

The solution to this bug is to add a function __hash__ to the class Artist and 
the other related 
classes. The reason is explained here: 
http://wiki.python.org/moin/DictionaryKeys
Since __eq__ and __ne__ are already defined in Artist using the artist's name, 
then the solution is 
to add the following code to the class Artist:

    def __hash__(self):
        return hash(self.get_name().lower())

and do the same on the other related classes (Album, etc...)

Just as an example: if you have an artist object and run a get_similar() on it, 
the xml returned will 
contain the artist name with proper capitalization. If you created the artist 
object with improper 
capitalization, running get_name() on it will show it improperly capitalized, 
but if you've done 
get_similar() before you have already gotten the info you need to update that, 
so why not check to 
see if the artist name you got back has the same capitalization as the one we 
have cached and if 
not, update it?

Since the md5 function takes care of the encode

There are a lot of trailing whitespaces in the code. You can use 
":%s/\s\+$//gc" from VIM to remove them. I've also attached a patch.
You can use the following to see them in vim:
let python_space_errors=1
highlight WhitespaceEOL ctermbg=red guibg=red
match WhitespaceEOL /\s\+$/

Hi,

I'm getting a "NoneType object is unsubscriptable" error with multiple API 
methods 
(Album.getImage and Artist.getBioSummary).  I recently updated my copy of 
pylast from the 
alpha version from August 15th to the latest SVN version.  I didn't get this 
error when using the 
alpha code.

Here's the traceback I have for the error when using the getImage method.

Traceback:
File "/Users/brett/Workspace/Development/lastfm.py" in get_data
  137.      album.lf_image_url = lf_album.getImage(pylast.IMAGE_LARGE)
File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/pylast.py" in getImage
  483.      return self._getCachedInfo()['images'][size]

Exception Type: TypeError
Exception Value: 'NoneType' object is unsubscriptable

I apologize if this is a bug in my code and not pylast.  I'm just getting 
started with Python, and I 
was really happy to find this library was available to save me the time of 
having to write my own.  
Thanks for posting your work, and I hope my bug report helps!

It would be really great to have all Album/Artist/etc information returned 
from calls to user.getTopAlbums() and similiar methods.

According to Last.fm api it should be simple since that info is returned in 
response anyway.

According to last.fm API specs, some services such as album.getinfo do NOT
require authentification (see http://www.lastfm.ru/api/show?service=290 as
an example), but pylast requires it.

Please type example code that produces the issue:
import pylast

api_key = "my api key"
api_secret = "my secret key"

username = "TLemur"
password_hash = pylast.md5("")

network = pylast.get_lastfm_network(api_key = API_KEY, api_secret =
API_SECRET, username = username, password_hash = password_hash)

user = pylast.User(user_name, network)
tracks = user.get_top_tracks(period='overall')
for track in tracks:
    print track 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is the list of user's top tracks, instead I see a error:
pylast.WSError: Invalid authentication token. Please check
username/password supplied

In line 3651 of pylast.py, in method report_now_playing, if scrobbler request 
fails, handshake is forced and submissions_url as well as nowplaying_url are 
obtained. 

These values are never requested elsewhere so if one tries scrobbling without 
reporting nowplaying, as in line 3683 in method scrobble, handshake is not 
performed and scrobbles are never submitted. Probably should be as below 
(replacing line 3683), right?

try:
            ScrobblerRequest(self.submissions_url, params, self.network).execute()
        except BadSessionError:
            self._do_handshake()
            self.scrobble( artist, title, time_started, source, mode, duration, album, track_number, mbid);

Could you add a support of 'match' param in artist.getSimilar call?
