I'm trying to create a way to update podcasts in iTunes when I'm connected to my Mac via ssh (and not VNC). I've discovered the following command works if I type it ...

Have you ever wondered whether there was a command line way to check iTunes and determine which song is currently playing. The command-line osascript utility makes this an easy problem to solve.

Osascript is claimed to support python and indeed one can execute applescript commands from within python with it. I'd like to do something that's a bit the opposite: expose an app's python interface.
