Lightweight Spotify Command-Line interface for Linux
Python 2.7 or Python 3.3+
See requirements.txt for required python packages.
You will need a Spotify Premium account.
You will need libspotify, libffi-dev and libasound2-dev installed.
Use your distribution's package manager for libffi-dev and libasound2-dev.
To install libspotify, see Pyspotify installation. (It's also available in the AUR).
For DBus integration you'll need python-dbus and python-gobject2. Use your distribution's package manager. Spoppy will work without these packages but won't expose it's DBus procedures.
pip install spoppy
To install globally you will probably need superuser privileges.
After installation run spoppy
in your terminal and you're all set!
- Create a virtualenv (python 2.7 or python 3.3+)
- Clone this project
- Activate your virtualenv
- Install requirements
- pip install -r requirements.txt
- Run
python scripts/spoppy
(you will be asked for username/password)
- Run make install_dbus
- Make sure you have python-gobject2 installed
- Symlink gi (and possibly glib) to your virtualenv (that is, if you're not installing globally!)
- ln -s /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/gi/ $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/python3.5/site-packages/gi
- ln -s /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glib/ $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/python3.5/site-packages/glib
- The service will be available at "/com/spoppy" (f.x.
qdbus com.spoppy /com/spoppy com.spoppy.PlayPause
)
python setup.py test
