pylfm

pylfm is a simple Python client for Last.fm's API. Its functionality is limited to what I needed myself, but feature and/or pull requests are welcome.

pylfm lacks documentation at the moment, though the code should be simple enough. I'd love to say that the absence of documentation is only temporary, but I don't want to promise anything.

Dependencies

pylfm and supplied tools require Python 3, as well as the following libraries:

• python-requests
• python-lxml

pylfm is developed and tested under Linux. Feedback regarding other platforms is welcome.

Tools

Unless specified otherwise, tools export fetched data in python's pickle format, as well as in JSON.

• group_artists generates a dictionary containing all the artists ever scrobbled by users of a specified group toghether with the users who scrobbled them & their playcounts.

• friends_bfs runs a breadth-first search on a user's friend graph, fetching his friends, his friends' friends etc up to a specified level.
