@@ -657,6 +657,8 @@ I'll gladly consider pull requests for bug fixes or feature implementations.
If you have an interesting example that shows usage of this module, submit an issue or pull request and i'll include it or link to it.
Testing against "real world" Photos libraries would be especially helpful. If you discover issues in testing against your Photos libraries, please open an issue. I've done extensive testing against my own Photos library but that's a since data point and I'm certain there are issues lurking in various edge cases I haven't discovered yet.
## Implementation Notes
This module works by creating a copy of the sqlite3 database that photos uses to store data about the photos library. the class photosdb then queries this database to extract information about the photos such as persons (faces identified in the photos), albums, keywords, etc. If your library is large, the database can be hundreds of MB in size and the copy then read can take many 10s of seconds to complete. Once copied, the entire database is processed and an in-memory data structure is created meaning all subsequent accesses of the PhotosDB object occur much more quickly.
