			== IRDL: Python package to download and process HRTF datasets ==

			[https://pypi.org/project/irdl irdl] is a lightweight Python package written by Art J.R. Pelling that downloads impulse response and HRTF datasets and returns them in various output formats such as SOFA (default), HDF5, pyfar-objects or NumPy arrays with one line of code. It checks the download integrity and data version against a hash and only downloads and processes as needed with a settable cache directory. The package can also be used as a CLI tool to quickly fetch data.
