Collection of python code to re-use across python-based scrapers

• This library is meant to be installed via PyPI (zimscraperlib).
• Make sure to reference it using a version code as the API is subject to frequent changes.
• API should remain the same only within the same minor version.

Example usage:

zimscraperlib>=1.1,<1.2

• libmagic
• wget
• libzim (auto-installed, not available on Windows)
• Pillow
• FFmpeg
• gifsicle (>=1.92)

brew install libmagic wget libtiff libjpeg webp little-cms2 ffmpeg gifsicle

sudo apt install libmagic1 wget ffmpeg \
    libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev libopenjp2-7-dev zlib1g-dev \
    libfreetype6-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev python3-tk \
    libharfbuzz-dev libfribidi-dev libxcb1-dev gifsicle
