ly2video depends on unmaintained pyPdf module

[aspiers]

pyPdf stopped being maintained 2 years ago. It has been superceded by the PyPDF2 friendly fork which is actively being maintained. ly2video should probably switch for that reason alone, even though it doesn't need the wider range of support of PDF formats.

Is this the reason behind the following warning when ly2video is invoked?

*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***
This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead.

I'm not sure what generates that warning; please can you paste the command-line you invoked ly2video with, and a gist URL for the resulting output?

It occurs no matter what file I attempt to build with. e.g. for the file I just sent you via email:

$ ~/code/ly2video/ly2video.py -i ly2videotest.ly -o ly2videotest.avi --height=100
LilyPond was found.
ffmpeg version 0.8.5-6:0.8.5-0ubuntu1, Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the Libav developers

*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***

FFmpeg was found.
TiMidity++ was found.

So, by the look of it, it's a the choice of function in ffmpeg, not PyPDF.

Description of ffmpeg package from Ubuntu repositories:

This package contains the deprecated ffmpeg program. This package also serves as a transitional package to libav-tools. Users are advised to use avconv from the libav-tools package instead of ffmpeg.

I'll file a separate issue on this: #32
