exiv2 0.2

Exiv2 wrapper for Python >= 3.4 on Windows

Low-level wrapper for exiv2 for python >= 3.3 that pip-installs on Windows.

• only works on Windows.

• only supports Iptc for now. Exif and Xmp are on their way.

• straight-up exposure of the C++ methods. Feel free to write more pythonic classes on top.

How do I set it up?

• pip install exiv2

Example

import exiv2

def example1():
    image = exiv2.ImageFactory.open(r"c:\test\test.jpg")
    image.readMetadata()
    ipc_data = image.iptcData()
    for datum in ipc_data:
        print(datum.key(), datum.value().toString())
    ipc_data[b'Iptc.Application2.Subject'] = b'subject'
    image.writeMetadata()

def example2():
    with open(r"c:\test\test.jpg", "rb") as f:
        imdata = f.read()
    im = exiv2.ImageFactory.open(imdata)
    im.readMetadata()

    new_iptc_data = exiv2.IptcData()
    new_iptc_data[b"Iptc.Application2.Caption"] = b'Hi Mom!'
    im.setIptcData(new_iptc_data)
    im.clearExifData()
    im.clearXmpData()
    im.writeMetadata()

    io = im.io()
    size = io.size()
    buffer = io.read(size)
    with open(r"c:\test\out.jpg", "wb") as f:
        f.write(buffer)
