Just try to get it to print help. python edl.py -h
Why, the hell do they not have a ".py" extension on the file? Are they too cool for that???

They changed a bunch in going to 3.6 from 3.52, presumably adding bells & whistles, but definitely dependencies.

I have no idea why they want/require pylzma. Just another stupid dependencies being dragged in. It's not used directly in the code.

Working with Python is like cooking for a friend who's just moved in. "Ok, where's the salt?" "Oh, I don't have that, I'll run out and get some..." "And some oil?" "Oh, yeah, I should get some of that..."

The last time I used this I swore I would write a standalone Windows version with no dependencies.
