Python XMP Toolkit is a library for working with XMP (= Extensible Metadata Platform) 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
