New submission from Toby Thurston: aifc.py fails to open AIFF files containing the compression type "sowt" in the COMM chunk with an "unsupported compression type" error.
This compression type is an Apple specific extension that signals that the data is not actually compressed but is stored uncompressed in little Endian order. Supporting it would require a trivial change to allow the compression type as a byte-string and to add a do-nothing _convert routine. This would allow aifc.py to be used with AIFF files on Apple macOS. ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 291727 nosy: thruston priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Support Apple AIFF-C pseudo compression in aifc.py type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30077> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
