Update the project to become a Python library instead.

Scripted-Video is a project that, currently, is meant to be run as a program. However, this comes with a critical issue that risks a lot of development time: the parsing of an external file. Even more so, is the syntax that I'm trying to enforce needs to be developed as well as its result. This is a problem, because I want to include practical features, such as if-statements and for-loops.

This means I'm effectively developing my own programming language in Python, which was not what I truly wanted out of this project. What I wanted to create a wrapper around complex video-generation. To fix this, I think what I could do is change my project from a runnable program to a library that defines various modules to manage a video.

This delegates many immediate syntax errors to the Python interpreter, and leaves the core functionality to me. If I wanted to define my own language, it should not be written in Python in the first place.

This will inevitably result in various immediate changes to Scripted-Video:

• This invalidates all parser or syntax-related issues (#16, #17, #20, #24, #25)
• It will require the 'qualms' module to be deleted and replaced with a series of custom exceptions.
  • To be honest, it was only called 'qualms' to differentiate it from 'errors', but it was confusingly named.
• The 'svst' module will also need to be deleted.

For now, I'll be labelling this issue as 'not guarenteed', because at the time of writing it's past 23:30 (11:30pm), and I do not make key decisions at this time out of principle.

Ultimately, I think this change will require a new repository. This way, I do not have to untangle the code in a way and simply start over. That will result in this repository becoming archived.
