latest version 2.8.2 doesn't work on Ubuntu 20.04, errors as below, glibc is already 2.31, unlike mentioned here: https://github.com/LeoHsiao1/pyexiv2/blob/master/docs/Tutorial.md#faq:

ldd --version returns ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.9) 2.31

works well on Ubuntu 22.04, with ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.35-0ubuntu3) 2.35, default python version is 3.10.

So, it could be glibc version, or python version problem?

Hi! This is because pyexiv2 is compiled with a newer version of GLIBC library. You need to upgrade your GLIBC library, or upgrade your Linux distribution.

OK, when I googled GLIBCXX_3.4.29, I saw someone meet similar problem with other python packages, this seems to be not unique, I will upgrade my Ubuntu.

[LeoHsiao1]

Well. glibc is an important base library for linux. If a new version of glibc is used for compilation, then running the software also depends on the new version of glibc.
