Installation Notes

This package should work with most python3 versions. It is currently being tested and developed on python 3.8.

AV Libraries

If some ffmpeg bindings aren’t set correctly, mp4 videos may be difficult to load. if so, use the –avi flag to save as avis instead.

Virtual Environments

May help to create venv with system site packages for things like tk:

python3.[X] -m venv <nameofyourenv>

Manually install all dependencies with:

pip install -r seas

Right now the dependencies are flexible on versioning of the required packages. Please report if you run into any issues and we will make them more stringent.

Tkinter

GUIs should work by default with base python installation, but you may need to install tk dependencies.

I’ve experienced issues getting tkinter to work on a python installation that isn’t the most up to date version. i.e. if you have 3.7 and 3.8 installed, tkinter on 3.7 might not work–try using 3.8.

Debian-based linux:

sudo apt-get install python3.8 python3-tk python3.8-tk

If you experience problems with the GUI, check your tk version with the following terminal command:

python -m tkinter

This will launch a GUI that tells you your tk version. Make sure it is >=8.6
