pyexiftool is just a wrapper for exiftool. exiftool looks great, but
for my use case, I only need to strip all metadata. It would be much
easier if that was in pure Python and pure Java. perl is a no go on
Android.
It was dead simple to strip EXIF from JPEG in Python:
from pil import Image
with open(inpath) as fp:
in_image = Image.open(fp)
data = list(in_image.getdata())
out_image = Image.new(in_image.mode, in_image.size)
out_image.putdata(data)
out_image.save(outpath)
But that broke some PNGs, and the rest were larger in size.
