I'm really sorry but python to means either snake or Monty (I know there's a link there). I don't know a thing about programming since BBC Basic in he 80s.. My brain doesn't accept stuff like this. I had a look at the Python site and it's well beyond me.
The page error (I should have realised) is because you are nott a playlist editor on the site so it's restricted access.
The generator was designed by C33
Yes, there is definitely a link; the creator of the Python language is a Monty Python fan.
Just to be clear; I would be writing all the code. It's just text processing, not solving 3rd order partial differential equations.
I only need the playlists from the blogs and the proper output format for the new playlists. If that information cannot be shared, that's unfortunate but it is what it is.
I'll find another problem to solve; like the simplistic MouseBits/xbtit obscenity filter.
But this took 20 minutes to complete - looking up the Amazon details is the hardest - now multiply by the 26 tracks in the loop
Ouch. 20 minutes for one track is more than a bit painful
.
Do you have the source track purchasing information from whoever verified the source track against the reference track? I would guess that would save some time in finding the right ASIN or iTunes URL.
EDIT I got tired of looking at Android Java code so I did some R&D on a Python script. This work-in-progress script
#!/usr/bin/env python
import re
# List to hold a dictionary for each track's info.
trackList = []
# List to hold a dictionary for each source's info .
sourceList = []
blogPlaylistFilenameStr = 'Disneys_New_York_Hotel.txt'
# Open the text file with the original playlist and read in all the lines.
with open(blogPlaylistFilenameStr, 'r') as infile:
allLinesList = infile.read().splitlines()
for line in allLinesList:
# Remove any whitespace at the beginning & end of the line.
line = line.lstrip().rstrip()
# If the line starts with a number, it's a track.
if line[0:1].isdigit():
#print('Track found\n')
# Parse the track number, the track title and the source reference.
# The track regex pattern assumes the line has this format:
# <digit(s)><whitespace><title><whitespace>[<digit(s)>]
# TODO: where is the track runtime and how is it formatted?
trackPattern = r'(\d+)\s+(.*)\s+\[(\d+)\]'
trackMatchObj = re.match(trackPattern, line)
if trackMatchObj:
#print 'TODO: Amazon cover art'
#print '%02d.' % int(trackMatchObj.group(1))
#print '%s' % trackMatchObj.group(2)
#print 'TODO: artist info'
#print 'TODO: album info'
#print 'TODO: store links'
#print
# Add track number & title for now.
trackInfoDict = {}
trackInfoDict['coverart'] = 'TODO: Amazon cover art'
trackInfoDict['number'] = int(trackMatchObj.group(1))
trackInfoDict['title'] = trackMatchObj.group(2)
trackInfoDict['sourceIdx'] = int(trackMatchObj.group(3))
trackInfoDict['CD_ASIN'] = 'TODO'
trackInfoDict['iTunes_URL'] = 'TODO'
trackInfoDict['MP3_ASIN'] = 'TODO'
trackList.append(trackInfoDict)
# If the line starts with a left square bracket, it's source information.
elif line[0:1] == '[':
#print('Source info found\n')
# Parse the artist name and the album title.
# The source regex pattern assumes the line has this format:
# [<digit(s)>]<whitespace><artist>,<album>
sourcePattern = r'\[(\d+)\]\s+(.*?),(.*)$'
sourceMatchObj = re.match(sourcePattern, line)
if sourceMatchObj:
#print 'ref no.: %02d' % int(sourceMatchObj.group(1))
#print 'artist: %s' % sourceMatchObj.group(2)
#print 'album: %s' % sourceMatchObj.group(3).lstrip()
#print
sourceInfoDict = {}
sourceInfoDict['artist'] = sourceMatchObj.group(2).rstrip()
sourceInfoDict['album'] = sourceMatchObj.group(3).lstrip()
sourceList.append(sourceInfoDict)
for trackDict in trackList:
print '%s'% trackDict['coverart']
print '%02d.' % trackDict['number']
print '%s' % trackDict['title']
print '%s' % sourceList[trackDict['sourceIdx'] - 1]['artist']
print '%s' % sourceList[trackDict['sourceIdx'] - 1]['album']
print 'TODO: online store links'
print
will reformat this example playlist (the Disney's New York Hotel playlist that was posted in a Mouse Overseas thread; I added extra spaces and removed the leading zeroes from the track numbers to make it a little less tidy)
