Pandora API control via PyDora?

[wysocki]

I'm running Pandora a lot on my HTPC and I've worked up a mickey moused control panel in the webserver interface. It just runs Chrome with a url string for the desired channel. I control play/pause/skip by positioning the mouse and clicking it. I'd love to be able to do this in a cleaner way plus be able to get song info to display in my system. I know the Pandora API is supposed to be for authorized developers, but I've come across something called PyDora which is a Python implementation of the API.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pydora/1.7.5

Does anyone have any experience with this? Since it's in Python, I'd hope that one of our EG gurus could come up with a way to implement it in EG for us non-Python coders!

it is possible. but you will have to run eg version 0.5 beta 4 and if pandoraAPI package doesn't want to play nice you may have to install python and install the library using that. I believe there is one other package that is needed to get API to run. but i will have to read the source more on the API to see. but it's going to take a bit of work because I/Someone would have to go through the source code and read the whole thing to get all of the control pieces together. because the front end that is already made for it cannot be used. but the back end can be.
