Bug#769767: ITP: imageio -- Library for reading and writing a wide range of image formats
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ghislain Antony Vaillant <ghisvail@gmail.com>
* Package name : imageio
Version : 1.0.0
Upstream Author : Almar Klein
* URL : http://imageio.github.io/
* License : BSD
Programming Lang: Python
Description : Library for reading and writing a wide range of image formats
Long description taken from the upstream website:
Imageio is a Python library that provides an easy interface to read and write a wide range of image data, including animated images, volumetric data, and scientific formats. It is cross-platform, runs on Python 2.x and 3.x, and is easy to install.
The rationales behind the development of this library are explained in [1]. The upstream author considers the code base mature after 2 years of development and recently released it as a 1.0.
I believe this package to be a good fit for the numerical-computation blend from the Debian-science project, and should be maintained by the Debian science team.
