rist 0.1.2

librist Binding

pyrist

Python binding for librist

This project is fully funded by [Mad Resistor LLP][https://madresistor.com/].

pip install rist

It will use system installed librist.so or librist.dll or use LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Goal and Features

The goal of this project is to provide an easy to use python interface over librist.

It supports all features of librist.

Dependencies

• cffi
• enum

License

pyrist is released under a very liberal license, a contrario from the other VideoLAN projects, so that it can be embedded anywhere, including non-open-source software; or even drivers, to allow the creation of hybrid decoders.

The reasoning behind this decision is the same as for libvorbis, see RMS on vorbis.

Roadmap

The plan is the following:

Reached

1. Working with librist.

On-going

2. Write tutorials and comprehensive documentation.
3. Test on most platforms

Our contributions guidelines are quite strict. We want to build a coherent codebase to simplify maintenance and achieve the highest possible speed.

Notably, the codebase is in pure Python.
