Because gexiv2 is not a Python library, it's designed for many languages
to use.
Perhaps the Python bindings should be packaged separately with the
appropriate dependencies in place, but I'm not sure of that. For
example, gexiv2 also ships with Vala bindings, but it doesn't (nor
should it) require Vala to be installed.
