Python library for reading/writing MIT's Scratch file format.

kurt

Kurt is a Python library for working with Scratch project files.

It supports both Scratch 1.4 and Scratch 2.0 with a single Pythonic interface, and it's extensible to support new file formats for Scratch mods (such as Snap!).

It also includes a parser for converting plain text into Scratch blocks.

Example uses:

• converting Scratch 2.0 projects back to 1.4
• importing thousands of images into Scratch
• importing midi files as play note blocks
• importing font files as costumes
• parsing text to Scratch blocks
• analysing projects

Scratch is created by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab.
