This module is a low-level binding. It is in turn used in a higher +level module, pyexiv2. + +To use pyexiv2 in your scripts, simply include the following line: + + import pyexiv2 + +It provides a single class, pyexiv2.Image, with all convenient methods for the +manipulation of EXIF and IPTC metadata. + + +License +======= + +Copyright (C) 2006 Olivier Tilloy <olivier@tilloy.net> + +pyexiv2 is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under +the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free +Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your +option) any later version. + +pyexiv2 is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT +ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or +FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
