python name clash with py3exiv2 #78

Hi,

you created a module which provides exiv2 for python with the same name as py3exiv2. So this creates a conflict.

py3exiv2 is what distributions are packaging!

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:python/python-exiv2 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3-exiv2 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-exiv2/

I would suggest that you rename it, in case you want that distributions package your module.

Hi! When I started this project two years ago, I couldn't find a project named pyexiv2 on pypi.org, so I used this name. Since changing the project name will affect all users, I'd rather put up with the problem. I've just added documentation that describes the differences between pyexiv2 and py3exiv2.
