# pyxmms(3)

Python bindings for the libxmms library

## NAME

**PyXMMS** — Python bindings for the libxmms library

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution because  the original program does not have a manual page.

**PyXMMS** is documented with **pydoc** (the documentation is generated  from docstrings in the Python code). You can browse its documentation  with all the customary ways offered by **pydoc**, which are referenced in  the standard Python documentation and in the manual page for **pydoc** in  **Debian**.

On a **Debian** system, you will additionally find an HTML version of  the documentation for **PyXMMS** in /usr/share/doc/python-xmms-doc/html/  if you have the python-xmms-doc package installed (start browsing at  /usr/share/doc/python-xmms-doc/html/index.html).

**PyXMMS** is a Python interface to **XMMS** (the X MultiMedia System),  a multimedia player for Unix-like platforms.

**PyXMMS** consists of two components: a set of Python bindings for  all the xmms\_remote\_\* functions accessible through the libxmms library  (which comes with **XMMS**) plus a few higher-level functions; a Pythonic  interface to manage the XMMS main configuration file, using libxmms as a  backend.
