From 1d23e7b02216ff2ab45e4ecb34cf638f6d583c09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinta Chen Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 12:44:40 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] audit: sweep Audio & Video Processing, drop vidgear Removed: vidgear (10,854 downloads/month, pypistats 2026-10-02): a challenger with no adoption trajectory (about half its August count), not anyone's unprompted answer next to moviepy and PyAV. Also: pydub moves below librosa to Second Tier under the Python-version rule; its only release, 0.25.1 (2021), fails `import pydub` on Python 3.13+ without audioop-lts, but it still has 17,778,797 downloads/month.
