As I mentioned on the pyexiv2-developers' mailing list, I believe the 0.2 branch of pyexiv2 is now ready for pre-release testing.

Progress on this pet project of mine has been very slow due to the lack of spare time I had to dedicate to it, and constant context-switching. But it finally reached a state where I think it is complete and stable enough to form the basis of a first release.

There are still some missing bits (complete documentation and a windows installer are the two big items on my list), but the functionality is there and I'd love to see it stress-tested and get as much feedback as possible. The bazaar branch can be grabbed from lp:pyexiv2, it should be compiled against the latest release of libexiv2, 0.19. Bug reports and questions are welcome!
