Answer

It’s pretty simple with Homebrew package manager:

brew install exiv2 pyexiv2

If you’re using Macports, it also has exiv2 formulas:

–Edit–

A side note: I got segfault at “import pyexiv2”. It turned out I have system Python 2.7.2 and homebrew Python 2.73 intalled at the same time. The problem disappeared after I uninstalled the brewed Python. Related info can be found here:
