Library to access Digikam metadata

Digikam-DB

Python library to access Digikam metadata (database)

Digikam is an image management application using KDE. For more information on Digikam, see https://www.digikam.org/.

Digikam-DB can read and write Digikam metadata. It works with both SQLite and MySQL databases.

Warning

This package is still under development. Use at your own risk and make a backup of your Digikam database before writing to it.

Installation

For installation via PIP, simply type:

pip install Digikam-DB

If you are using a MySQL database, you may want to install the additional dependencies:

pip install Digikam-DB[mysql]

To get the source code, go to https://github.com/rcw-2/python-digikamdb.

Running the Tests

The MySQL tests need a MySQL database to run. The database must be specified in a module mysql_data somewhere in the Python path (e.g. in the same directory as this file, it will be ignored by Git) that defines the variables db_host, db_user, db_pass and db_name. The given user must have all privileges on the given database.

To fill the database, the mysql binary is called, so make sure to have mysql-client installed.
