It centers on SubStation Alpha (the native format of Aegisub) but also handles SubRip, MicroDVD, MPL2, TMP, WebVTT, TTML, SAMI, and OpenAI Whisper captions. The library provides both a programmatic API for subtitle manipulation\u2014loading files, shifting timings, modifying text and styling\u2014and a command-line tool for batch conversion and retiming tasks.\n\nThe package has no external runtime dependencies, making installation straightforward. It is actively maintained, production-stable, and supports current Python versions. The MIT license places no restrictions on use, modification, or distribution. It is well-suited for developers building video processing pipelines, subtitle editors, or tools that need to work with captions in multiple formats.","worth_installing":"Yes. pysubs2 is a stable, actively maintained library with zero dependencies, broad format support, and a permissive license. Install it if you need to programmatically work with subtitles or build subtitle conversion and retiming tools. The low friction and production-ready status make it a straightforward choice for subtitle-related tasks."},"id":"pysubs2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pysubs2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pysubs2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pysubs2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-19","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pysubs2","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A library for editing subtitle files"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":263983,"position":8347,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.8.1"}
