Python XMP Toolkit is a library for working with XMP metadata, as well as reading/writing XMP metadata stored in many different file formats.

Python XMP Toolkit is wrapping Exempi (using ctypes), a C/C++ XMP library based on Adobe XMP Toolkit, ensuring that future updates to the XMP standard are easily incorporated into the library with a minimum amount of work.

Python XMP Toolkit has been developed by:

• ESA/Hubble - European Space Agency
• ESO - European Southern Observatory
• CRS4 - Centre for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia

Documentation is available at python-xml-toolkit.readthedocs.org or can be built using Sphinx: :

pip install Sphinx
python setup.py build_sphinx

Running the tests is as simple as: :

python setup.py test

or (to also show test coverage): :

source run-coverage.sh
