Avpy 0.1.3

ctypes binding for libav and ffmpeg

Avpy is a Python binding for ffmpeg and libav (see www.ffmpeg.org or www.libav.org).

Typical usage often looks like this:

>>> from avpy import formats, codecInfo, Media
>>> print formats()
>>> print codecInfo('mp3', decode=True)
>>> m = Media('test.avi')
>>> print m.info()

More examples can be found in the examples folder. Documentation is available online: https://avpy.readthedocs.org/

The binding uses ctypes (https://docs.python.org/2/library/ctypes.html) to wrap ffmpeg or libav and is compatible with all major version of ffmpeg (v1.2 and from v2.5 to v2.8) and libav (from v0.8 to v11). Note that python2 (v2.6 and v2.7), python3 (from v3.2 to v3.5) and pypy are supported.
