LyricWiki Toy

This is a small, somewhat standalone application that grabs lyrics from the LyricWiki site through the SOAP interface and sort of works with Rhythmbox.

It requires PyGTK and the LyricWiki Services files created by the command

wsdl2py --complexType http://lyricwiki.org/server.php?wsdl

(This requires python ZSI.)

Installion right now is pretty much throw all of it in a directory, and run the script. If it doesn't work check if lyricwiki.org is up. Then try to fix it. If that doesn't work my e-mail is in the script file, run it from a terminal and give me the output.

Usage is pretty simple.

• 'Current Song' button grabs the song playing in Rhythmbox (it's what I use).
• 'Lyrics Page' should run your default browser (using the python webbrowser module) and open the lyricwiki page for the viewed lyrics.
• Buttons to the left of the form clear the associated text entry. I find this useful for dragging text or copy and paste operations.
• Filling in the artist or title by hand and hitting enter will try to grab an arbitrary song's lyrics.

Some things I've thought a little about adding, but haven't found a personal need for right away:

• Editing support.
• Multiple players support. Either automatic or selectable from a menu.
• Autocompletion for artists/titles somehow.
• Some type of lyrics caching support.
