calliope.playlist.Playlist

calliope.playlist.read(stream)

Parses a playlist from the given stream.

Returns an generator that produces calliope.playlist.Item objects.

The generator will read from the file on demand, so you must be careful not to do this:

with open(‘playlist.cpe’, ‘r’) as f:

playlist = calliope.playlist.read(f)

for item in playlist:

# You will see ‘ValueError: I/O operation on closed file.’. …

If you want to read the playlist in one operation, convert it to a list:

with open(‘playlist.cpe’, ‘r’) as f:

playlist = list(calliope.playlist.read(f))

calliope.playlist.write(items, stream)

Write a playlist to the given stream.

calliope.playlist.split(items)

Convert a list of items into a list of playlists.

Splitting is done based on the playlist.title attribute. Each time an item is found with this attribute set, it’s treated as a new playlist.

calliope.playlist.load_schema()

Returns the JSON Schema for Calliope playlist items.
