Hi hackers, Anybody out there writing a Python 3 app that needs to be able to manipulate photo EXIF metadata, and disappointed with the general state of affairs? (ie, pyexiv2 only supports Python 2, and most other EXIF libraries are read-only as far as I know).
Well, libgexiv2 is the GObject-based library used by Shotwell to read and write EXIF metadata, and I'm experimenting with adding introspection support to it so that languages other than Vala can also benefit. Anyway, I started a git repo for my work here: https://github.com/robru/gexiv2 And you can see an overall diff of how little work was necessary here: https://github.com/robru/gexiv2/compare/12f864af8b6dd4f550a1289830a3988b220e4794...master BUT... I need feedback and bugtesting. As it stands, it's "good enough" for the app I'm writing, but I only have simple needs. What kinds of features do you need for manipulating metadata? What am I missing? How can I improve this so it's more useful for everybody else? Here's an example usage with the existing code: from gi.repository import GExiv2 photo = GExiv2.Metadata('IMG_2411.JPG') photo['Exif.Image.Make'] = 'FooCam' longitude, latitude, altitude = photo.get_gps_info() photo.set_gps_info(-113.5, 53.5, 700) photo.save_file() If you'd like to see some specific features in the Python overrides that makes it nicer for you to use, now would be a good time to let me know what I should add, before it gets merged upstream ;-) Thanks! -- http://exolucere.ca _______________________________________________ python-hackers-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/python-hackers-list
