pympi-ling 1.29

A python module for processing ELAN and Praat annotation files

Documentation as well as a detailed changelog can be found on:
http://dopefishh.github.io/pympi/

Note on python 3 compatibility: I have only tested it on python 3.4, it will
probably work on everything newer then or equal to 3.3.

Pympi is a package that allows you to interact with Elan[1] files and
TextGrid[2] files. You can create, edit and convert both formats into
eachother. It includes besides all the basic functions also functions for:
- Calculating gaps and overlaps between speakers conform Heldner and Edlund's
method[3] (Could be used for determining floor transfers).
- Shift annotations in both directions (Could be used when due to an error all
annotations are misaligned).
- Import from CLAN's chat files.
- Merge and or filter tiers (Could be used to combine hands in gesture coding)
- Move tiers between elan files.
- Etc.

The development version can be found on github[4].
