mpd notification script issue

I'm a newbie to python and having some problems getting the following script to work correctly:

http://github.com/magcius/mpdsetup/tree/master (the mpdnotify.py together with the config file)

I'v encountered numerous error messages but I've managed to work out most of them myself.
However, I'm stuck at the following one:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/.bin/mpdnotify.py", line 221, in <module>
    daemon()
  File "/home/uesr/.bin/mpdnotify.py", line 173, in daemon
    reasons = client.idle()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mpd.py", line 130, in __getattr__
    (self.__class__.__name__, attr))
AttributeError: 'MPDClient' object has no attribute 'idle'

Any help appreciated.

Re: mpd notification script issue

What makes you think that there is an idle() command?

I was a bit unclear i guess. I'm actually not the authour of this script. I'm just
trying to get it to work on my computer (and learn a few things in the progress).

I found the script at http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Hacks

You need to update your mpc to 0.16.x (I think)

But using python to call mpc to communicate with a mpd server is doing it kind of ass backwards if you ask me.

Thank you, that could definitely be it.

And yeah, I realize the hack is probably quite ugly but I've been looking quite a bit for a way to get mpd notifications
without sonata running. The other scripts I've found have been either uglier (as far as I can tell at least).
