The 'mpdstats' plugin of media-sound/beets-1.3.{2,3} (http://beets.readthedocs.org/en/v1.3.3/plugins/mpdstats.html) requires dev-python/python-mpd to work. Otherwise using the plugin will fail like this: beet mpdstats ** error loading plugin mpdstats Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/beets/plugins.py", line 190, in load_plugins namespace = __import__(modname, None, None) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/beetsplug/mpdstats.py", line 17, in <module> import mpd ImportError: No module named mpd Usage: beet COMMAND [ARGS...] beet help COMMAND beet: error: unknown command mpdstats
Thanks for the report, I'll probably do some cleanups while updating to 1.3.5 in coming days.
Fix comitted in beets-1.3.3-r1 (added new useflag for this)
