Description

If possible, I would like to request that exrheader be included in future PyPi releases of OpenEXR. I find it very useful for verifying the contents of EXR files that I have written using the Python APIs.

I believe conda-forge already includes this tool in their distribution (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/openexr)

Thank you for considering this enhancement.
