- Upload to PyPI
A python3 library for interaction with your Ampache server using the XML & JSON API
Code examples and scripts are available from github
You can now install from pip directly:
pip3 install -U ampache
There is a fairly simple cli example for windows/linux to perform a few functions. It's a good example for testing and might make things a bit easier to follow.

# Scrobble a music track to your ampache server
Process(target=ampache.scrobble,
