Need help enhancing a python script

[tad1073]

I know nothing about programming so bare with me. I have "Desktop Cover Art" plugin installed for rhythmbox and would like to enhance the script so that when I am playing last fm it will pull album art for the current song. Below is the code.

I suggest you contact the author of the plug-in who thoughtfully put his e-mail address in the copyright notice.

You may be able to get people here to write you this code but at a price.
