A macOS command-line "multi-tool" for working with Apple Photos. Allows you to export photos (along with all the metadata), batch-edit metadata such as times and timezones, explore the AI metadata Apple computes for each photo (but doesn't make available to the user) such as "well timed shot", "pleasant composition", etc, compare libraries, sync metadata between libraries, and much more! It's written in python and provides a full python API for interacting with Photos.

Fantastic! I also used patrikhson's photo-export tool to help me restore all of my lost iPhoto Events after a strange sync issue the first time I enabled iCloud Photo Library in...maybe 2016? I was able to restore all of my lost events as albums in Photos writing code based on their script.

Your tool looks incredibly useful, will def keep for some batch date fixes I need to do.
