Repository files navigation

This package provides a library for reading Microsoft'sCompound File Binaryformat (CFB), formerly known asOLE Compound Documents, theAdvancedAuthoring Format (AAF), or just plain old Microsoft Office files (the non-XMLsort). This format is also widely used with certain media systems and a numberof scientific applications (tomography and microscopy).

The code is pure Python and should run on any platform; it is compatible withPython 2.7 (or above) and Python 3.2 (or above). The library has an emphasison rigour and performs numerous validity checks on opened files. By default,the library merely warns when it comes across non-fatal errors in source filesbut this behaviour is configurable by developers through Python'swarningsmechanisms.
