Are there docs / an overview of what it does and how?
I remember Google marks their generated videos in some way. Is this based on similar or same published papers and approaches?
I understand tge appeal, and benefits, of prototyoing in python but it is not an appropriate medium/format for the distribution of something this important.
I think python is fine, but that repo is a bit messy.
I think that on the contrary, accessibility matters quite a lot here, and python is definitely more approachable and versatile here than a lot of other languages.
Which are great things for prototyping but, for distributing things, virtual environments (or unversioned/tagged dependencies) and 3rd party package managers are a finnicky and brittle hurdles that make the end user’s lives worse. What’s more is that, without a legitimate type system, long term maintenance becomes a recurring pita. Exceptions are also problematic in that they blow up stacks of dependent computation rarely shrink over time without extensive rewriting. It’s also still a relatively slow language, which should be disqualifying for a performance sensitive project like this.
Doesn’t even need to be as tough as rust; There’re languages that’re as easy to write. Go, for one, supports iterative workflows (there’re some community repls which, sadly, are usually versions behind but the compiler is very fast) and garbage collection and makes distribution/acquisition trivial. There’re versions of it that are more script-oriented and even have generator expressions and other declarative syntax features.
Why?
After you asked, I elaborated in a response to @solumbran but feel free to ask in more detail or disagree
Is that why AWS’ cli has parts written in and distributed with python? Your feelings in this matter, are irrelevant.
Hate to break it to you but AWS CLI is not the gold standard in software development and distribution
So are yours. They’re just shared by companies evrybody hates.
