I'm writing a Python-based [web] application that needs to be able to read and write EXIF data.

libexif seems to have all the right ingredients, but I can't work out how (or if) I could access it access it by using Python's ctypes library? I'm new to C, suppose I need see a .so for this to work?

  • Since you need to manipulate EXIFs this is a possible duplicate of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/765396/exif-manipulation-library-for-python – Paolo Casciello Jul 29 '13 at 11:17
  • Appreciate there are some Python-based solutions out there, from what i've seen `libexif` appears the most feature-full, and principally I'm just curious if it is possible. – user2453501 Jul 29 '13 at 11:22

You need to be running on an os that you can obtain the required library, to download the .h files, (usually the -dev package gives you these).

Then you need to work your way through the ctypes tutorial found here which explains all the steps you need to take.
