Python AVM Library is a library for working with Astronomy Visualization Metadata (AVM) in the XMP format.

Python AVM Library is a wrapper around the Python XMP Toolkit, providing simple access to AVM-specific fields.

Python AVM Library has been developed by:
    * ESA/Hubble - European Space Agency
    * ESO - European Southern Observatory

Installation
============

Requirements
------------

 * Python 2.5+
 * Exempi 2.1
 * Linux or OS X (see notes below for Windows)


Python XMP Toolkit
----------------------
The short version of installation is::

  python setup.py install

Note, in case you haven't installed Exempi you will get an `ExempiLoadError` exception once you try to load `libxmp`.

Exempi
------
Python XMP Toolkit requires Exempi 2.1 which can be downloaded from
http://libopenraw.freedesktop.org/wiki/Exempi. To install Exempi, unpack the
distribution and run::

  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install


Mac OS X
--------
Note Exempi requires boost (http://www.boost.org/) to compile, so on OS X you
probably need to run configure with one of the following options.::

  ./configure --with-darwinports
  ./configure --with-fink


    Note, currently Exempi 2.1 does not compile on OS X, due to bugs
	in a number of Makefiles. A patched version of Exempi 2.1 that compiles
	under OS X can be download at
	http://python-xmp-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/exempi-2.1.0-patched.tar.gz.

Windows
-------
The library has not been tested on Windows, and nor has any serious effort
been made to test it. Hence, developers wanting to use the library on Windows
are encouraged to try it out and let us know if it works.

The library ought to work on Windows, if Exempi can be compiled as a DLL using
e.g. Cygwin.

Additional documentation is included in the docs/ directory in both HTML and PDF versions.
