Re: [beets] Query beets library through external python script
A plugin is a good idea too, but you can also import beets as a library. This
tiny example might get you started:
import beets.library
import os
libpath = os.path.expanduser('~/.config/beets/library.db')
lib = beets.library.Library(libpath)
for item in lib.items('artist:muse'):
print(item.title)
No sweat!

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