how to use gexiv2 in python?

I just compiled exiv2 and gexiv2 for my debian machiene and now I want to start working with gexiv2 to edit IPTC data using python. The gexiv2 website presents the following line of code:

from gi.repository
import GExiv2

But that already results in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
      ImportError: No module named gi.repository

The following error occurs when importing GExiv2:

>>> from gi.repository
import GExiv2
ERROR: root: Could not find any typelib
for GExiv2

Hi,

Hi,

I used to use a python script to clear image metadata in Debian:

import gi
gi.require_version("GExiv2", "0.10")
from gi.repository import GExiv2


metadata = GExiv2.Metadata("/tmp/something.png")
metadata.clear()


I'm trying to make this work in the GNU system I installed with Guix, but I
haven't been able to. So far, I have installed the following packages with guix:

gobject-introspection 1.56.1
python 3.70
python-pygobject 3.28.3
gexiv2 0.10.10

I've also added the output of "guix package --search-paths" to my
".bash_profile".

However, when I run the script above, I get the following error:


$ python3 img-clear-metadata.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "img-clear-metadata.py", line 2, in <module>
   gi.require_version("GExiv2", "0.10")
   File
   "/home/sirgazil/.guix-profile/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line
   130, in require_version
   raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
   ValueError: Namespace GExiv2 not available


   I don't know what I'm missing...


   I'm using this guix:

   $ LANG=C guix describe
