You can use the osascript utility to send commands to itunes, and invoke it from Python like this: import subprocess listname = "My Playlist" subprocess.call(["osascript", "-e", "tell application \"iTunes\" to play playlist \"{0}\"".format(listname)]) But that seems overkill (using Python to use Applescript to control iTunes)...
