Hi, sorry, I don't have enough energy to release a fix patch for the old version of pyexiv2, so I suggest you install the newer version of pyexiv2.
The change from v2.5 to v2.8 is just a few minor version changes. If you have problems with the upgrade, I will help you to solve it.

[reagle]

I'm sorry, you mean you can't release 2.8 to pypi right now? You are suggesting install from Github?

I'm going to use an alternative library for now. For this one, perhaps you could remove this package on pypi, or update its version compatibility?

[LeoHsiao1]

I mean, the old version, v2.5.0, does not support python 3.11. I suggest you install the latest version, v2.8.1

[LeoHsiao1]

pyexiv2 v2.5.0 was released in 2021, when python 3.10 was not yet released, let alone python 3.11

[reagle]

But v2.8.1 is not available on the command line, it pulls 2.5.0:

Oh, I misunderstood your needs. I thought you were more interested in the older version v2.5.0. It turns out that you just want to install pyexiv2.
There is a problem of pyexiv2 #108 . pyexiv2 is currently built using GitHub Action and there are no arm64 machines. So users with arm64 computers cannot use pip install pyexiv2 and have to compile it manually. This is difficult, so I suggest you change to an alternative library.
As for me, I'll wait for GitHub Action to support ARM64 machines. actions/runner-images#5631

[reagle]

Oh, okay, thank you.
