Comment 0 for bug 1074028

I have spoken directly with the maintainer of pyexiv2 and we have agreed that pyexiv2 is an abandoned project that will never support Python3. Therefore, anything that depends on pyexiv2 is going to be stuck on Python 2 until they port to GExiv2. GExiv2 is a clear winner in terms of simplicity, and maintainability.

So, these packages need to be ported to GExiv2 before they can be ported to Python 3:

$ reverse-depends python-pyexiv2
Reverse-Depends
===============
* creepy
* flickrbackup
* gramps
* lazygal
* nautilus-image-manipulator
* phatch-cli
* rapid-photo-downloader
* smartshine
* videoporama

I have some history with the authors of gramps and rapid-photo-downloader so I may begin with those. We'll see how this goes.
