About ------ PyMTP is a Pythonic binding to LibMTP that allows Python programs to interact over Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) with LibMTP-supported devices. These devices include all recent Android devices, several popular MP3 players, including Creative Zen, several iRiver devices, NormSoft Pocket Tunes and many others. Why ---- I decided to write pymtp after I got my Creative(R) Zen V Plus, and I noticed there wasn't any libraries to use MTP in python. I grabbed ctypes and went to work. Requirements ------------ pymtp 0.0.5 requires: * python * ctypes (or Python 2.5, as it includes Ctypes) * libmtp 1.1 or above Installing ----------- To install pymtp on most systems, run setup.py: python setup.py build python setup.py install After running those commands (on *nix, you'll need to run the install command as root), pymtp should be installed and ready to go Generating documentation ------------------------ While pymtp doesn't come with any documentation with it, you can generate documentation using epydoc. Epydoc makes very pretty documentation: epydoc -o <output directory> pymtp.py This, of course, requires epydoc to be installed. Getting help ------------- If you find you need help getting pymtp working, or have any questions or comments on pymtp, please send me a message. I'm usually available on irc.freenode.net as "nick125", or email me at nick@nick125.com Thanks ------ I would like to take this moment to thank everyone who has ever filed a bug report or a patch. You guys have made me feel like my work is actually important to someone and have given me the encouragement to keep working on it. I'd like to give a special thanks to Dan O'Reilly for his patches and other contributions to this project.
