pyannodex 0.7.2 Release
-------------------------
                                                                        
pyannodex is a set of Python bindings for the libannodex library, which 
provides a simple way to read and write Annodex media using Python.

Annodex is an open standards based technology that extends the World
Wide Web's hyperlinking, searching, and compositing infrastructure to
time-continuous data, enabling video surfing, searching for clips of
audio and video files using ordinary Web search engines, and
on-the-fly composition of a video on a Web server from previously
annodexed clips. For more information on Annodex, see
http://www.annodex.net/

This release is available as a source tarball at:

This release fixes bugs, binds more of the 0.7 libannodex and adds anxinfo.py.

About pyannodex
---------------

The pyannodex source distribution comprises the python binding for libannodex,
and command-line tools anxenc.py, anxrip.py, and anxinfo.py.

pyannodex provides the following features:

        * A low-level annodex module that directly wraps the C API.

        * A set of high-level object-oriented bindings.

pyannodex is currently largely undocumented, however documentation of the
libannodex API can be read online at:

Tools
-----

pyannodex contains python versions of various command-line tools,
which are useful for creating and inspecting Annodex media:

        * anxenc.py: Encapsulate annotations and data into annodexed media.
                                                                        
        * anxrip.py: Extract annotations and data tracks from annodexed media.
