Installing py3exiv2 on Windows with pip

1k Views Asked by At

I tried some exif/iptc/xmp libraries for Python3, but they are all neither mature nor fully-fledged.

  • exifread can only read exif information
  • iptcinfo3 is not properly ported to Python3

Therefore, i tried to use py3exiv2 on Windows 7/10.

However, i neither found a windows wheel for py3exiv2 nor does pip install py3exiv2 runs out of the box on windows. There seems to be C++ bindings, that have to be compiled during pip installation.

I installed Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 standalone: Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017
but pip install py3exiv2 still fails with a missing exiv2/image.hpp file.
I assume, there are more dependencies missing... but i have no clue how to add this to the pip installation or fix this manually.

So i would like to ask, if you can give me some hints how to setup and install py3exiv2 properly on windows?
