pymkv

pymkv is a Python wrapper for mkvmerge. It provides support for muxing, splitting, linking, chapters, tags, and attachments through the use of mkvmerge.

About pymkv

pymkv is a Python 3 library for manipulating MKV files with mkvmerge. Previously, I was constructing mkvmerge commands manually. They were becoming overly complex and unmanageable. To remedy this, I decided to write this library to make mkvmerge more scriptable and easier to use. Please open new issues for any bugs you find, support is greatly appreciated!

Installation

mkvmerge must be installed on your computer. It is recommended to add it to your $PATH variable but a different path can be manually specified. mkvmerge can be found and downloaded from here or in most package managers.

To install pymkv from PyPI, use the following command:

$ pip install pymkv

You can also clone the repo and run the following command in the project root to edit the source code:

$ pip install -e .

Documentation

The documentation for pymkv can be found in the GitHub repo wiki.
