Python convert stereo .flac to mono

I am struggling with manipulation of audio channels in Python. Specifically, how to convert stereo .flac into mono .flac file in Python?

I know this method: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/AudioChannelManipulation#stereomonostream but i am looking for something which can be done directly in Python.

Any help will be appreciated.

Have you tried the ffmpeg-python package?

You can install it with pip install ffmpeg-python. And this might solve your problem:

import ffmpeg
ffmpeg.input('stereo.flac').output('mono.flac', ac=1).run()

There are some examples in the GitHub repository.

Another option could be to use the subprocess module:

import subprocess
subprocess.run('ffmpeg -i stereo.flac -ac 1 mono.flac', shell=True)

Be careful when using shell=True.
