python-md5-daap
iTunes music sharing is a cool feature, and so naturally there are people out there who want to use it, without necessarily using iTunes itself. Personally, I use mt-daapd to share music from my house server to the various clients in the house, but I also have a use for an iTunes client. Specifically, I want to write one. This will require a python DAAP client library, which does not, as yet, exist, to the best of my knowledge. Pity.
My first step towards this goal is now here: md5daap is a python wrapper round a slightly modified md5 library, which implements the strange variant of MD5 that Apple requires for DAAP authentication. As per the README, I wrote none of the code. Lovely.
