Re: [beets] Query beets library through external python script

[Steve Johnson]

The most useful thing would probably be for someone to write a plugin
that accepts a query on stdin and puts JSON on stdout.


>From what I can tell, the 'canonical' way to get access to the beets
library from a Python script is to implement the script as a plugin.
The plugins in the beets source tree should provide enough examples to
get started.

Re: [beets] How to list an exact string in queries

[Steve Johnson]

Although the given solution works, it's much slower than the raw
substring query. Would be nice to get that optimized in the future. (My
library is large.)
