Qencode Python Library

The Qencode Python library provides convenient access to the Qencode API for applications written in the Python language.

Inside this repository in sample-code/, there are examples of video transcoding tasks, launching encoding jobs, video clipping and receiving callbacks. Updates are posted on a regular basis and we are open to any improvements or suggestions you may have.
