I have Visual Studio 6 and .NET 2003 so I think I'm good for that. Unfortunately, I am not the best at compiling. Hopefully the links you provided will have plenty of friendly pros who don't mind sharing their wisdom. > > In case you can't compile, it wouldn't be so hard to write a wrapper > around the provided windows executable to mimic the API of python- > pyexiv2. If it does turn out that they can't help me compile, would you know how to do this? Are we talking about SWIG here? I've never written a wrapper. > > I am afraid I can't help you more. > > Stani Thanks again, Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
