Description (last modified by Ben Sturmfels)

Audio spectrograms don't work with Python 3 due due to a Python 2-only depedency on audiolab. The Python 2 code us unfortunately rather fragile though, which often results in bad experiences for people setting up MediaGoblin as well as bug reports.

Given we'll soon be switching to Python 3-only, I propose we drop audio spectrograms entirely. This will result in a less attractive but more reliable system.

See also #5457 for background.

Milestone: 0.10.00.11.0

I've now disabled spectrograms for Python 2 in 4f3f70d1. This change only disables spectrograms and updates install docs and Dockerfiles. We still need to strip out all the spectrogram code and extlib/freesound/.

Moving this to 0.11.0 so we don't forget to do that cleanup work.

The Python 2-only spectrogram code and libraries have now been removed thanks to Fernando in #5610. Yay!
