pytagdump 0.3.1

Synopsis

pytagdump is a simple utility to print the ID3/tag info of various files supported by the “mutagen” package.

Installation

To install, simply:

pip install pytagdump

• You’ll need to have Python 2.5+ and pip installed.

• You might have to be root (or use sudo) for pip to install the script into a globally executable directory in your $PATH.

• For JSON output support, make sure you have at least Python v2.6 (or install the simplejson package for Python v2.5).

• For YAML output support, make sure you install the PyYAML package.

• Optonally, you can use pip’s setuptools extras syntax to have either (or both) of these packages automatically installed for you. e.g. pip install pytagdump[JSON,YAML]

• pip should automatically install mutagen for you, but the advanced user can find it here: http://code.google.com/p/mutagen/
