libmpv (no kidding!)
....................
libmpv
......
``libmpv.so`` either locally (in your current working directory) or somewhere in your system library search path. This
module is somewhat lenient as far as ``libmpv`` versions are concerned but since ``libmpv`` is changing quite frequently
you'll only get all the newest features when using an up-to-date version of this module. The unit tests for this module
do some basic automatic version compatibility checks. If you discover anything missing here, please open an `issue`_ or
submit a `pull request`_ on github.
Python 2.7, 3.5 or 3.6 (officially)
...................................
On Windows you can place libmpv anywhere in your ``%PATH%`` (e.g. next to ``python.exe``) or next to this module's
``mpv.py``. Before falling back to looking in the mpv module's directory, python-mpv uses the DLL search order built
into ctypes, which is different to the one Windows uses internally. Consult `this stackoverflow post
<https://stackoverflow.com/a/23805306>`__ for details.
Python >= 3.5 (officially)
..........................
The ``master`` branch officially only supports recent python releases (3.5 onwards), but there is the somewhat outdated
but functional `py2compat branch`_ providing Python 2 compatibility.
