Description: PyExifTool
        ==========
        
        PyExifTool is a Python library to communicate with an instance of Phil
        Harvey's excellent ExifTool_ command-line application.  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.

        Getting PyExifTool
        ------------------
        
        The source code can be checked out from the github repository with
        
        ::
        
            git clone git://github.com/sylikc/pyexiftool.git
        
        Alternatively, you can download a tarball_.  
        
        Official releases are on PyPI
        
        ::
        
            https://pypi.org/project/PyExifTool/
        
        
        .. _tarball: https://github.com/sylikc/pyexiftool/tarball/master
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        PyExifTool runs on Python 2.6 and above, including 3.x.  It has been
        tested on Windows and Linux, and probably also runs on other Unix-like
        platforms.
        
        You need an installation of the ``exiftool`` command-line tool.  The
        code has been tested with version 8.60, but should work with version
        8.40 or above (which was the first production version of exiftool
        featuring the ``-stay_open`` option for batch mode).
        
        PyExifTool currently only consists of a single module, so you can
        simply copy or link this module to a place where Python finds it, or
        you can call
        
        (It is being slowly re-factored to a module to keep exiftool.py from 
        growing astronomically)
        
        ::
        
            python setup.py install [--user|--prefix=<installation-prefix]
        
        to automatically install that module.
        
        Testing
        -------------
        
        Run tests to make sure it's functional
        
        ::
        
            python -m unittest -v tests/test_exiftool.py
