I am both the upstream developer and Debian packager of Lodju, a digital photo organizer. The version of the package that is now in Debian is written in C, but I am rewriting it in Python.
Lodju needs to read the EXIF headers in image files. These are headers that a digital camera adds to a JPEG and contain information about, say, when the photograph was taken, and details about the exposure. I use Gene Cash's EXIF.py for reading them. It is a single pure Python module. I'm wondering how to package it for Debian. The easy solution is to include it in Lodju, but that mixes my code and foreign code, and is not very elegant. It is also not good for those who also would like to use EXIF.py in their own programs. I could put EXIF.py in its own package, but it feels silly to make a separate package for a single file. This is, however, what I'll be doing unless someone suggest a better option. Suggestions, anyone? -- http://liw.iki.fi/liw/photos/swordmaiden/
