Multimedia

The next several modules implement algorithms and interfaces that are mainly useful for multimedia applications.

audioop

The audioop module manipulates raw audio data, such as samples and fragments.

imageop

The imageop module manipulates raw image data by operating on images consisting of 8- or 32-bit pixels stored in Python strings.

aifc

The aifc module is devoted to audio file access for AIFF and AIFC formats. This module offers support for reading and writing files in those formats.

sunau

The sunau module provides an interface to read and write files in the Sun AU sound format.

wave

The wave module provides an interface to read and write files in the WAV sound format. It doesn't support compression/decompression, but it supports mono/stereo channels.

chunk

The chunk module provides an interface for reading files that use EA IFF 85 data chunks. This format is used in the AIFF/AIFF-C, RMFF, and TIFF formats.

colorsys

The colorsys module defines bidirectional conversions of color values between colors expressed in RGB and three other coordinate systems: YIQ, HLS, and HSV.

rgbimg

The rgbimg module allows Python programs to read and write SGI imglib .rgb files—without requiring an SGI environment.

imghdr

The imghdr module determines the type of an image contained in a file or byte stream.

sndhdr

The sndhdr module implements functions that try to identify the type of sound contained in a file.
