Python interface to XMMS

PyXMMS is implemented as a Python package, named xmms. This package offers three public modules:

• xmms.common
• xmms.control
• xmms.config (not available with Python 2.1 or earlier).

The xmms.common module provides common objects to share between the two other modules, such as xmms.common.error, the most generic PyXMMS exception, also accessible as xmms.error.

The xmms.control module provides functions to control XMMS (play, pause, add files to the playlist...).

The xmms.config module provides functions and classes to manage the main configuration file for XMMS (parsing, modification, writing...).

For backward compatibility, the public objects defined in xmms.control are accessible directly from the xmms package, so code like import xmms; xmms.play() still works, but you should not rely on this behaviour. This will probably change in the beginning of 2005 (you have more than one year to change your code).
