Opus is a low-latency, royalty-free codec designed for real-time communication and streaming. The package provides direct access to libopus encoding and decoding functions through Python, making it suitable for applications that need to compress or decompress audio data in Opus format.\n\nThe package has no Python runtime dependencies but requires the libopus C library to be installed on the system. It was last updated in January 2018 and is no longer actively maintained. The codebase targets Python 2.5\u20132.7 according to its classifiers, and there is no documentation of support for Python 3 or modern versions.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2018, no commits since mid-2023) and targets only Python 2.5\u20132.7, which are long out of support. High install friction from compiled dependencies and lack of maintenance make it unsuitable for new projects. Consider actively maintained alternatives if Opus support is needed."},"id":"opuslib","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opuslib","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/opuslib.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/opuslib/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-01-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"opuslib","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python bindings to the libopus, IETF low-delay audio codec"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":229156,"position":9137,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0.1"}
