   Description     : Python library to communicate with ExifTool

Binary package names: python3-exiftool

  The library provides the class exiftool.ExifTool that runs the command-
  line tool in batch mode and features methods to send commands to that
  program, including methods to extract meta-information from one or more
  image files. Since exiftool is run in batch mode, only a single
  instance needs to be launched and can be reused for many queries. This
  is much more efficient than launching a separate process for every
  single query.

The plan is to maintain pyexiftool in debian-python.
