We've just released an update to the pyechonest library. The new version adds support for some of the new API features, including the ability to get artist images and artist biographies. Download the new release from: the pyechonest page.

Here's an example of using pyechonest to find an artist image and bio for the band 'weezer':

> from pyechonest import artist
> weezer = artist.search_artists('weezer')[0]
> weezer.images()[0]
{'url': 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/Weezer.jpg'}
> weezer.biographies()[0]
{ 'text': ''As one of the most popular groups to emerge in the post.} #many lines omitted

We've also expanded the number of similar artists you can return from the artist.similars() call to 100. Give the new version a try, have some fun, and let us know what you think.
