python-musicbrainz2 is a client library written in python which provides easy object oriented access to the MusicBrainz database using the XMLWebService. It has been written from scratch and uses a different model than PythonMusicbrainz, the first generation python bindings.

Requirements:
· Python (tested with 2.4)
· libmusicbrainz (tested with 2.1.1
· ctypes (tested with 0.9.6 and 0.9.9.3)

Installation:

Installation works using python's standard distutils (on most systems, root permissions are required):

python setup.py install


Optionally, API documentation can be generated using epydoc. This command runs epydoc (http://epydoc.sf.net) which creates a 'html' directory containing the documentation:

python setup.py docs

What's New in This Release:
· Access to a CD drive other than the default drive now works again.
