Python web based MPD client with a pretty face and some ajax where it makes sense

  • theory music software. * #########################*

quick: ./install.sh and run "./run-theory.sh start" . Then direct your browser to http://localhost:9099/ if you're running theory locally

##########################

notes: * This is only my third Python project and my second Pylons app. Suggestions / bug fixes / pointing out my non-Pythonic idioms are all welcome. Most layout values / colors are in the CSS file theory/public/css/styles.css. I'd like to add support for themes, but you should be able to edit the CSS file if you don't like the color scheme.

* theory is Firefox only for now. I have no desire to support IE and I don't 
  have access to any OSX-based browsers.  jquery is cross-browser so Opera 
  should work pretty well, but I haven't tested it. 

known bugs: * there is a bug in jquery that will throw an "easing" error occasionally

upgrading: * if you're upgrading from a previous version of theory, you might want to copy your theory.ini over from the old installation directory. Server info, Amazon AWS key, and saved streams are stored in that file. You should also consider copying the downloaded album art stored in theory-OLDVERSION/theory/public/img/art/
to avoid re-downloading all of those images.
