That's python-musicpd 0.4.4? Unexpected coolness.

For sure :-)

It allowed me to create a new Python 3 based rotary encoder driver that doesn't need to shell out to do the sqlite and mpd stuff.

The C version of the driver will still be included but the Python version is the new default. When and if wiringPi gets fixed for the 4B I'll probably revert to the C version as the default.
