Status of pyexiv2.

Not sure if this is the correct forum so please move if it's in the wrong place. I have used pyexiv2 in the past and am just starting a new project which will read/write exif/IPTC tags from JPG files. I notice that the package is currently maintained in the Arch repo: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … on2-exiv2/ However, looking a the pkexiv2 home page it says the package is now deprecated. See http://tilloy.net/dev/pyexiv2/ The site recommends porting applications to http://redmine.yorba.org/projects/gexiv2/wiki, which currently returns a 404.

My requirements are pretty simple, but I don't want to write a load of code only to find that this package disappears.

Re: Status of pyexiv2.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. There are probably other packages in the repos which are considered up-to-date despite the code or "project" being depreciated, obsolete, unmaintained, etc. Gexiv2 is in the repos, and a simple google search yields its current home.

The pyexiv2 Arch package could just be uploaded to the AUR if that's what you're worried about. But that's a trivial concern compared to the fact that the "project" is depreciated.

Re: Status of pyexiv2.

I've ported pyexiv2 to Python 3.

https://launchpad.net/py3exiv2

The code can be released, all unit tests are passed with success.

See the doc for the compatibility python 2 to 3

Not sure where you came up with that URL - the pyexiv2 site links to https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gexiv2 .
