PyGogear

Support for Python 2.3 was added. Some bugs in
reporting missing modules were fixed. Output
formatting was made nicer.

Some general bugs due to bad coding were fixed.
Handling of encounters with bad tags (or no tags)
was improved, so now some defaults are set. Files
with id3v2.2 tags are skipped, since eyeD3 does
not handle them properly. The read_tag() method
was removed in favor of read_mp3(). The
fix_string() method was added. The set_defaults()
method was added to set some default tags when
needed.

The code was almost completely rewritten for a
more object-oriented design. Docstrings were added
for the main stuff. When a bad MP3 file is
encountered, the file simply gets skipped
(printing some string). M3U playlists are now
supported. Error handling and reporting were
improved. The general method
"getId(id_field.table, field_to_match, match)" was
introduced, and is used to get one entry's id from
any given table (instead of "make_artist(...)",
"make_album(...)", and similar). Other minor
changes were made.

pyGogear used to write some dummy tags to those
MP3 files with no tags at all. Now files are left
untouched. The database file is now copied to /tmp
for faster access times. A counter with the number
of songs inserted is printed after a succesful
execution. Some changes were introduced by the
eyeD3 module. Some information was not inserted in
the database' song table (such as bitrate,
frequency, track length). ID3v2 is now supported
as well as ID3v1. Output is now nicer, since the
debugging output was removed.
