# 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!](http://snap.berkeley.edu/)).

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](http://scratch.mit.edu/) is created by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab.*

With a proper python environment (one which has [pip](http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html) available), simply run:

    pip install kurt

Or using `easy_install`:

Or download the compressed archive [from PyPI](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/kurt), extract it, and inside it run:

    python setup.py install
