This module provides a single class, Image, and utility functions to manipulate EXIF and IPTC metadata embedded in image files such as JPEG and TIFF files. EXIF and IPTC metadata can be accessed in both read and write modes. This module is a higher-level interface to the Python binding of the excellent C++ library Exiv2, libpyexiv2. Its only class, Image, inherits from libpyexiv2.Image and provides convenient methods for the manipulation of EXIF and IPTC metadata using Python's built-in types and modules such as datetime. These methods should be preferred to the ones directly provided by libpyexiv2.Image. A typical use of this binding is as follows: import pyexiv2 import datetime image = pyexiv2.Image('path/to/imagefile') image.readMetadata() print image.getAvailableExifTags() print image.getExifTagValue('Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal') today = datetime.datetime.today() image.setExifTagValue('Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal', today) image.writeMetadata() ...
