PyExifTool

This is a work in progress, forked from gulnslym.

The main goal is to create a simple API so that I can automatically edit metadata in my photos collection with photo_organizer. An optional, but noble, goal is to also make this good enough for "public" use.

Installation

	[sudo] pip install -U pyexifinfo
	#sudo is optionnal

Requirements

ExifTool by Phil Harvey. Read, Write and Edit Image Metadata Information!

Usage

import pyexifinfo as p

p.ver() #retrieve your ExifTool version
filename = 'python-logo.png'
p.get_json(filename) #retrieve a json representation of this file exif
=>
