Hulot

Web site: https://github.com/rrthomas/hulot
Maintainer: Reuben Thomas rrt@sc3d.org

Hulot is a simple command and framework for file conversion. It can guess the MIME type of the input file from its name or contents and the output MIME type from the output file name, or both MIME types can be given explicitly. Another command allows the available converters to be listed and filtered.

The functionality of Hulot is also available as a Python module.

Hulot is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL version 3 (or, at your option, any later version).

Please send questions, comments, and bug reports to the maintainer, or report them on the project’s web page (see above for addresses).

Installation

Hulot is published on PyPI. Install it with pip:

pip install hulot

Most of the converters have dependencies. Unfortunately for now you have to examine their source code to see what they are; one day they might be documented.

Invocation

hulot [-h] [-V] IN-FILE OUT-FILE [OUT-MIME-TYPE] [IN-MIME-TYPE]
