## How is this different from `python-edl`?
There are two important differences between `import edl` and `import pycmx`
and motivated my development of this module.
1. The `pycmx` parser doesn't take timecode or framerates into account,
and strictly treats timecodes like opaque values. As far as `pycmx` is
concerend, they're just strings. This was done because in my experience,
the frame rate of an EDL is often difficult to precisely determine and
often the frame rate of various sources is different from the frame rate
of the target track.
In any event, timecodes in an EDL are a kind of *address* and are not
exactly scalar, they're meant to point to a particular block of video or
audio data on a medium and presuming that they refer to a real time, or
duration, or are convertible, etc. isn't always safe.
2. The `pycmx` parser reads event numbers and keeps track of which EDL rows
are meant to happen "at the same time," with two decks. This makes it
easier to reconstruct transition A/B clips, and read clip names from
such events appropriately.
## Should I Use This?
At this time, this is (at best) beta software. I feel like the interface is
