The GIMP image editor uses https://gegl.org/babl/ which supports tons of formats and supports color spaces, ICC profiles, etc. I would also prefer to keep colorsys simple and so not support ICC profiles for example. YUV is a common color encoding system. It's used by the JPEG image format and MPEG video format for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YUV In terms of complexity and maintenance burden, supporting YUV (PR 29512) sounds reasonable me. If colorsys is limited to RGB/HLS/HSV, I'm not sure if it is useful. Nowadays, there are more color formats which are getting popular. If they are not supported, maybe it's better to just remove the module. I don't know. Well, I don't have a strong opinion on adding YUV support or not. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45775> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
