ive been reading through this forum and the web the whole morning and I could not find any guidance. so I just ask.

im trying to connect a VMeter to mc ( http://vmeter.net/ ).
im not very familiar with Python, but im playing around with it for a while (hello world). on the vmeter site they have some stuff in python that communicates with the vmeter, so that is why I choose python. and I thought that using MCWS was a good idea (rather not the com object).

now the problem is as always... getting started. how do I get anything from or to mc with python using MCSW. for instance print the artist name of the currently playing song... or pause\play...

any help would be much appreciated.

You'll need to find and use python libraries that provide authenticated HTTP requests.  Once you can make an AUTH request, then its just a matter of formatting the messages and reading the responses.  You'll also probably also want HTML Entities & URI encoding/decoding and XML modules.  If you are going to write values back to MC, you'll also want a CSV module.  You can look at my perl script modules, specifically MCUtils/MCWS.pm for any of pscriptor, amg.pl, or discogs.pl.  Look at connect(), send(), send_items(), and possibly do_mcc_command().
