[python-win32] possible data corruption when deleting iTunes playlist items

[Clayton Macleod]

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding how those things work then. If I print song.Name that isn’t simply printing from the script’s own data? That’s what I thought to be happening. It is instead calling upon the iTunes app to get song.Name at print time?

If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?
