pysubs2
=======

pysubs2 is a Python library for editing subtitle files. It’s based on *SubStation Alpha*, the native format of `Aegisub <http://www.aegisub.org/>`_; it also supports *SubRip* and *MicroDVD* formats. There is a small CLI tool for batch conversion and retiming.

::

    import pysubs2
    subs = pysubs2.load("my_subtitles.ass", encoding="utf-8")
    subs.shift(s=2.5)
    for line in subs:
        line.text = "{\\be1}" + line.text
    subs.save("my_subtitles_edited.ass")

pysubs2 works with Python 3 and 2.7. It’s available under the MIT license (see bottom of the page).

To install pysubs2, just use `pip <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip>`_: ``pip install pysubs2``. You can also clone `the GitHub repository <https://github.com/tkarabela/pysubs2/>`_ and install via ``python setup.py install``.
