Hello, I am writing a telnet interface plugin to rhythmbox in python. It's small and called rhythmcurse, http://github.com/sameltvom/rhythmcurse One of the thing I want to do is to list all artists in the database. The code I use now for sending a list of artists to the client connected looks like this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------try: # reset to all artists for p in self.shell.props.library_source.get_property_views(): if p.props.prop == rhythmdb.PROP_ARTIST: artistNow = p.get_selection() p.set_selection([""]) break # make the changes take effect gtk.gdk.threads_leave() # python doesn't have Thread.yield as in Java time.sleep(0.01) gtk.gdk.threads_enter() # find all artists artists = set() for row in self.shell.props.selected_source.props.query_model: entry = row[0] artist = self.shell.props.db.entry_get(entry, rhythmdb.PROP_ARTIST) artists.add(artist) id = 0 # sorted list artists_sorted = sorted(artists) for artist in artists_sorted: reply = "%d - %s\r\n" % (id, artist) self.clientSocket.send(reply) id+=1 # reset the artist for p in self.shell.props.library_source.get_property_views(): if p.props.prop == rhythmdb.PROP_ARTIST: p.set_selection(artistNow) break reply = "" except: reply = "couldn't list artists\r\n"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, this just seems like a very bad way to do this and second, it will be buggy if there are many artists in the database. I have really tried to find out how to do this in a good manner by using the set_query method in RhythmDBQueryResults. But I can't figure out how to create the query. I would appreciate some help on this. Kind regards,Samuel Skånberg
