+libiptcdata is a library, written in C, for manipulating the International
+Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) metadata stored within multimedia
+files such as images. This metadata can include captions and keywords,
+often used by popular photo management applications. The library provides
+routines for parsing, viewing, modifying, and saving this metadata. The
+library is licensed under the GNU Library General Public License (GNU LGPL).
+
+The libiptcdata package also includes a command-line utility, iptc, for
+editing IPTC data in JPEG files.

+Python bindings are included by default but can be turned off by invoking
