PyExiv2 for Linux, MacOS and Windows
------------------------------------
You will need to install Python 2.5 (2.5.2 was used for development)
On Linux, I recommend you download and build Python 2.5 from source.
For Mac and Windows users, I used the binary installatation of Python 2.5.2 from ActiveState.
Files in this archive
---------------------
You should the following directories:
1 platform binaries (linux, macosx and windows)
These directories contain the platform code already compiled:
linux/site-packages
+ linux/lib
or windows/site-packages
or macosx/site-packages
+ macosx/lib
More detailed installation instructions are given below.
2 scripts
This is cross platform python code. Locate anywhere conveniently on your path.
Linux : /usr/local/bin
MacOSX : /usr/local/bin
Windows : c:\windows\system32
gps.py
surd.py
3 test
These are some test files so you can check that your installation is working.
Put into any convenient directory (doesn't matter)
For Linux : /home/<username>/test
For MacOSX : /Users/<username>/test
For Windows : c:\test
---- here's my output (on MacOSX 10.5.2) ----
