pyflac - FLAC in Python

This is a simple wrapper for some of libFLAC, namely the file decoder, file encoder, and metadata interfaces. Most of the functions of these interfaces are working.

The wrappers are mostly generated by SWIG. Using them should be intuitive for those already familiar with the C FLAC interfaces (n.b. where the FLAC documentation uses 64 bit integers you should use a Python long). Fairly complete sample code testing most of the functionality can be found in the examples directory.

Building / Installation:

To build pyflac you must have the SWIG, libFLAC (>= 1.1.3), and Python development files installed (these are swig1.3, python-dev, and libflac-dev on Debian systems).

Some of the examples also require python-pyao.

$ make && make install
