Can't install pyexiv2 in conda env on macbook

Question

I want to install pyexiv2 in a conda environment on a macbook. I tried a conda install of pyexiv2 and of python-pyexiv2 (as it was called when I successfully installed it on ubuntu).

pyexiv2:

(py27) IEC02R5A6DG8WP:pythonScripts mdev0002$ conda install pyexiv2
Fetching package metadata ...........

PackageNotFoundError: Packages missing in current channels:

  - pyexiv  

python-pyexiv2:

(py27) IEC02R5A6DG8WP:pythonScripts mdev0002$ conda install python-pyexiv2
Fetching package metadata ...........

PackageNotFoundError: Packages missing in current channels:

  - python-pyexiv2

I then tried the pip from conda but that yielded no results either

(py27) IEC02R5A6DG8WP:pythonScripts mdev0002$ pip install python-pyexiv2
Collecting python-pyexiv2
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-pyexiv2 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for python-pyexiv2
(py27) IEC02R5A6DG8WP:pythonScripts mdev0002$ pip install pyexiv2
Collecting pyexiv2
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyexiv2 (from versions: )

(py27) IEC02R5A6DG8WP:pythonScripts mdev0002$ 

I found documentation that says this python package can be installed via homebrew on the mac (http://macappstore.org/pyexiv2/) but how can I get this into a conda env?

Answer 1

pyexiv2 is unfortunately not available on PyPI. If your code is easy to port into Python 3, I'd recommend py3exiv2 which is available on PyPI. So you can just run pip install py3exiv2
