brunsli VS ImageMagick

we need Native Support for Python (or at least a reliable package) for managing the JXL files and up to this point brunsli (JXL_Patch) (which I couldn't make heads or tails of it) and jxlpy (which had problems installing on Python 3.11) were the only solutions I could find that came close to solving this issue, so ... what should we do?

To add to this, it's already possible to give this a try via building Brunsli from source:

I personally use the cbrunsli/dbrunsli cmdline programs to archive old high-resolution JPEG photos that I've taken over the years. Having a gander at one subdirectory with 94 photos @ 354 MB in size, running cbrunsli on them brings the size down to 282 MB, which brings in savings of about 20%. And if I ever wanted to convert them back to JPEG, each file would be bit-identical to the originals.

Perhaps it's a little early to trust my data to JPEG XL/Brunsli, but I've ran tests comparing hundreds of MD5 checksums of JPEG files losslessly recreated by Brunsli, and have not yet ran into a single mismatch yet.

I can only say that I am very excited for the day that JPEG XL truly hits primetime.

To tie all this together, we made an org profile for our GitHub organization page. There are some great examples of these, like Microsoft and PayPal. For Fastly's, we wanted something friendly and human so we used Imagemagick to create a montage of all the avatars of the Fastly team members who have contributed to the open source projects in our org:

Python has become a popular programming language for different applications, including data science, artificial intelligence, and web development. But, did you know creating and rendering fully customized videos with Python is also possible? At Stack Builders, we have successfully used Python libraries such as MoviePy, SciPy, and ImageMagick to generate videos with animations, text, and images. In this article, we will look closer at how Python can be used for video generation and explore some of the powerful libraries and tools that make it possible.

ImageMagick is the main tool and can do most conversions and image operations. For example to resize a whole folder of photos and convert to WebP you can do this:

Lack of open governance explains the fork in 2002. [0] The github commit history shows it's still a largely one-person-band. [1] The problems with this include a lack of succession planning, a lack of ability to scale bandwidth, and a narrower pool of ideas. The documentation website is really out-of-date as it mentions using a Borland compiler.
