What it is and what it does
audeer is a general-purpose utility library that bundles small, frequently-needed Python functions into a single package. It handles common tasks like listing files by type, managing multi-threaded operations, and wrapping progress bar display through its single external dependency, tqdm. The package is designed to be lightweight and is classified as Production/Stable, supporting Python 3.10 through 3.14.
Developers typically use audeer to avoid writing or importing scattered utility functions across projects. Its main value is consolidation—reducing boilerplate for file operations, threading patterns, and progress feedback in scripts and applications that don't warrant a full framework dependency.
Use it for
- List files of a specific type from a directory tree without writing custom logic
- Add progress bars to loops and long-running operations via tqdm integration
- Manage multi-threaded tasks using built-in threading utilities
- Build data processing pipelines that need common file and progress utilities
- Reduce boilerplate in research scripts that perform file I/O and batch operations
