-Whipper is a Python 3 (3.5+) CD-DA ripper based on the [morituri project](https://github.com/thomasvs/morituri) (_CDDA ripper for *nix systems aiming for accuracy over speed_). It started just as a fork of morituri - which development seems to have halted - merging old ignored pull requests, improving it with bugfixes and new features. Nowadays whipper's codebase diverges significantly from morituri's one.

 Whipper is currently developed and tested _only_ on Linux distributions but _may_ work fine on other *nix OSes too.
