ultrastarParser 0.3.8

Parser for Ultrastar text files.

UltrastarParser

Contains methods to read or edit ultrastar files or directories.

Installation

Use the package manager of your choice: pypi.

Usage

1. Make a backup. Though I try very hard to fix bugs and use the library myself, I cannot guarantee your files won't go up in flames, particularly if you are using a non-standard file structure or encoding. If something does go wrong, please file an issue.

• The library contains classes either for managing a single song or a library of songs.
• After editing a song, use <UltraStarFile>.flush() to flush changes back to the file system. Any changes made after opening/parsing will be overwritten by this.
• Certain formattings will be lost. For example, attributes (like #ARTIST) will always be converted to uppercase. The current goal is to be able to parse files that adhere to the Official Ultrastar Format Specification. For everything else, a best effort is made.
• For the forseeable future, editing the songtext and notes is unsupported

Planned features

• Ability to backup files, for example before overwriting
• Logging
• Better error handling
• Metadata extraction (e.g. song duration from audio file)
• Comparison between ultrastar files
