A Python3 binding to the library exiv2

Project description

A Python 3 binding to the library exiv2.

python3-exiv2 is a Python 3 binding to exiv2, the C++ library for manipulation of EXIF, IPTC and XMP image metadata. It is a python 3 module that allows your scripts to read and write metadata (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, thumbnails) embedded in image files (JPEG, TIFF, …).

It is designed as a high-level interface to the functionalities offered by libexiv2. Using python’s built-in data types and standard modules, it provides easy manipulation of image metadata.

python3-exiv2 is distributed under the GPL version 3 license.

The main content of the code was initially written by Olivier Tilloy for Python 2 under the name pyexiv2.

py3exiv2 depends on the following libraries:

Build depends:

  • python-all-dev (≥ 3.2)

  • libexiv2-dev (≥ 0.20)

  • libboost-python-dev (≥ 1.48)

  • g++
