One  day that would be nice, but this time I judged the effort to change the
code would be too great compared to other priorities.

It is less than 0.2.0. Personally I use the latest version of pyexiv2, which
you can add to Ubuntu like this:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:pyexiv2-developers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

However this may install some other programs which use pyexiv2, and have not
been changed to use pyexiv2 >= 0.2.0. I don't use those other programs very
much, so it doesn't bother me. It might be different for you.
