Description Daniel Holth 2004-04-07 14:47:04 UTC
This wrapper is the first python wrapper for theora as well as a good alternative to pyvorbis and pyogg.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge oggpy
2. wait
3. test oggpy




I've had some trouble with this software interacting with the way I've built my
system (athlon xp), causing a floating point exception where it would not in
Debian.  Probably something to do with how numarray and libvorbis handle ieee
floating point math differently.

What are the advantages of this over pyogg/pyvorbis?
Comment 4 Daniel Holth 2004-04-09 12:58:23 UTC
The biggest advantage of oggpy over pyogg/pyvorbis is that oggpy supports theora, the xiph.org video codec.  I'm not aware of any other Python wrappers for theora.

Secondary advantages include the ability to encode ogg and send it directly to libshout - something that vorbispy could not do last I checked.

A difference is that unlike pyogg/pyvorbis, oggpy doesn't yet separate codec support into different distutils packages.
Comment 5 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-09 15:38:19 UTC
unless there's something that uses this, it's pretty low priority for us since we've already got pyogg/pyvorbis.

Reassigned to maintainer-wanted. 
Comment 7 Evan Klitzke 2006-08-13 23:48:38 UTC
It appears that this project has been abandoned -- the last update was in April 2004. Since pyogg is actively maintained, and this is not, maybe someone can close this bug?
Comment 8 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-14 03:22:59 UTC
alright. closing. thanks for pinging us about this bug.
