Script to print currently playing track from iTunes on MacOSX — I use this to tweet out my favorite songs. (works on Snow Leopard) Bonus script: youtube_current_song.py will give you a youtube search URL for current song - again useful when tweeting. It also prints exception to stdout, useful for debugging with automation tools like TextExpander.
import appscript
itunes = appscript.app('itunes')
if itunes.isrunning():
track = itunes.current_track()
status = "#music %s by %s" %(track.name(), track.artist())
album = track.album()
if album:
status += " from %s" %(album)

Created January 22, 2013 05:52
Using Filepicker.io and Django South migrations together. South cannot introspect some fields, if you are redirected to http://south.aeracode.org/wiki/MyFieldsDontWork and looking for a solution specific to Filepicker's FPFileField, this is the code you're looking for.
from django_filepicker.models import FPFileField
from south.modelsinspector import add_introspection_rules
add_introspection_rules([], ["django_filepicker\.models\.FPFileField"])
class Stuff(models.Model):
preview = FPFileField(upload_to='previews', null=True, blank=True)

Uses a [deprecated?] Google API to search for your query and returns URL of the first result. I use this with TextExpander to quickly put in URLs of services I'm mentioning in chats, emails or blog posts.
