The sunau module reads and writes Sun audio (.au) files, a legacy audio format. It is a pure-Python archive of the original standard library code with minimal compatibility work\u2014no new features or enhancements are planned.\n\nIf your project imports sunau and you are running Python 3.13 or later, installing standard-sunau allows that import to work without code changes. The package depends on audioop-lts, another standard library redistribution, to handle audio data operations. This is a compatibility shim for legacy codebases; new projects should consider alternative audio libraries.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your project depends on sunau and you need to run on Python 3.13 or later. Install it as a drop-in replacement with no code changes required. The low install friction, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a straightforward compatibility fix. Do not install if you are starting a new project or can migrate to a modern audio library."},"id":"standard-sunau","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/standard-sunau","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/standard-sunau.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/standard-sunau/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"standard-sunau","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Standard library sunau redistribution. \"dead battery\"."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1530341,"position":3808,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.13.0"}
