It provides a simple object-oriented interface: load an image file, access EXIF tags as Python attributes (e.g., `image.gps_latitude`, `image.model`), modify or delete them, and write the updated image back to disk. The package handles the binary EXIF format internally, so you work with high-level Python objects rather than raw bytes.\n\nThe library supports a wide range of EXIF tags including camera settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO), GPS coordinates, timestamps, and device information. It requires only plum-py as a runtime dependency and runs on Python 3.7+. The maintainer developed it as a hobby project and now has limited bandwidth, though the package is marked Production/Stable and accepts community contributions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need straightforward EXIF read/write without external dependencies. The package is stable, low-friction to install, and has no known vulnerabilities. The dormant maintenance status is a minor concern for long-term support, but the code is mature and the maintainer welcomes contributions. Not suitable if you need active development or guarantees of rapid bug fixes."},"id":"exif","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/exif","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/exif.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/exif/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-12-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"exif","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Read and modify image EXIF metadata using Python."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":111163,"position":12430,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.1"}
