ffmpy is a simplistic FFmpeg command line wrapper. It implements a Pythonic interface for FFmpeg command line compilation and uses Python subprocess module to execute compiled command line.

You guessed it:

pip install ffmpy

>>> import ffmpy
>>> ff = ffmpy.FFmpeg(
...     inputs={'input.mp4': None},
...     outputs={'output.avi': None}
... )
>>> ff.run()

This will take input.mp4 file in the current directory as the input, change the video container from MP4 to AVI without changing any other video parameters and create a new output file output.avi in the current directory.
