sng-parser 1.1.1

Python library for reading .sng files

sng-format-python

---

Python implementation for parsing and handling .sng files. See the .sng format spec for information.

It is capable of reading SNG files, extracting metadata, file indexes, and file data. There is a function to write to disk as well.

I have not tested this thoroughly, but I've had zero issues with it so far.

Instalation

From pip

pip install sng-parser

From repository

git clone https://github.com/joshrmcdaniel/sng-format-python.git
cd sng-format-python
pip install -e .

Usage

The only functions a user should use for deconding and encoding is decode_sng, and encode_sng. The other functions are internal helpers.

decode_sng takes the following arguments:

• Keyword or passed arg:
  • sng_file: os.PathLike | str | BufferedReader
    • Can be the path to the sng file to parse, or a buffer
• Keyword only:
  • outdir: Optional[os.PathLike | str]
    • Output directory to write the song file to, defaults to the working directory
  • allow_nonsng_files: bool
    • Allow files encoded not specified by the sng stardard to be decoded, defaults to False
  • sng_dir: Optional[os.PathLike | str]
    • Directory containing the decoded files when writing to outdir, generated from metadata if not specified (<artist_name> - <song_name> (<charter>))
  • overwrite : bool
    • Overwrite the existing directory if it already exists, defaults to False

encode_sng takes the following arguments:

• Keyword or passed arg:
  • dir_to_encode (os.PathLike): The directory containing files to be encoded into the SNG format
• Keyword only:
  • output_filename: Optional[os.PathLike]
    • The path to the output SNG file. Defaults to the md5 sum of the containing files of converted dir.
  • allow_nonsng_files: Optional[bool]
    • Allow encoding of files not allowed by the sng standard. Defaults to False.
  • overwrite: Optional[bool]
    • If True, existing files or directories will be overwritten. Defaults to False.
  • version: Optional[int]
    • The version of the SNG format to use. Defaults to 1.
  • xor_mask: Optional[bytes]
    • XOR mask for encryption. If not provided, a random one is generated.
  • metadata: Optional[SngMetadataInfo]:
    • Metadata for the SNG package. If not provided, it's read from a 'song.ini' file in the directory.

Example usage

from sng_parser import decode_sng, encode_sng

outdir = 'test'
# Basic usage
## Decoding
decode_sng('example.sng', sng_dir=outdir)

## Encoding
encode_sng(outdir)

# Decode to `/name` with contents under `jeff` (sng files located in /name/jeff/)
decode_sng('example.sng', outdir='/name', sng_dir='jeff')

# Decode with file handler
with open('example.sng', 'rb') as f:
    decode_sng(f)

# Decode ignoring non-standard .sng files
decode_sng('example.sng', allow_nonsng_files=True)

# Encode ignoring non-standard .sng files
encode_sng(outdir, allow_nonsng_files=True)
