Using vidwriter in ffmpeg leads to AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'input'

[mdfeinstein]

the ffmpeg.py file, which contains the vidwriter function, tries to import ffmpeg. Further, many of the functions seem to refer to ffmpeg attributes, but there is no ffmpeg class defined anywhere, and so Python thinks I am trying to access an attribute of the module ffmpeg.

quick fix: pip install ffmpeg-python

longer term fix: i think i might need to update the naming to avoid the namespace collision. or maybe there is another way to structure things to avoid this issue? if you have any suggestions for how to do that best please let me know!
