Installation¶

pip¶

pip install pyeulervid

uv¶

uv add pyeulervid

conda / pixi (conda-forge)¶

# conda
conda install -c conda-forge pyevm

# pixi
pixi add pyevm

Optional: GPU-accelerated video I/O¶

torchcodec enables faster video decoding via FFmpeg. pip wheels are Linux-only; on Windows install via conda/pixi (conda-forge provides Windows CUDA builds):

# pip / uv (Linux only)
pip install "pyeulervid[fast-io]"
uv add "pyeulervid[fast-io]"

# conda-forge — works on Windows + Linux + macOS
conda install -c conda-forge pyevm  # torchcodec is included automatically
pixi add pyevm

Hardware¶

pyevm automatically selects the best available compute device:

1. CUDA — NVIDIA GPU
2. MPS — Apple Silicon GPU
3. CPU — fallback

Override with --device cuda, --device mps, or --device cpu.

Requirements¶

• Python 3.12 or later
• PyTorch 2.2 or later
