The readline module can be sorta annoying to get set up and use as a windows user.
The original windows shim module pyreadline is very, very outdated. Windows users will need pyreadline3 instead. https://pypi.org/project/pyreadline3/
I dread working with it, cause I usually have to hunt down a bunch of little incompatibilities in whatever code is using it, but I tested everything and it seems to be fine out of the box for your app :)
pyreadline3; sys_platform == 'win32' should be added to requirements.txt to reduce headaches :P
Also, the exiftools files can just be put in the same folder with the rest of the scripts if you don't wanna mess with PATH for whatever reason.
Cool little app!
Thanks, for your helpful suggestions, since i am a linux user i sometimes forget that some things work differently on windows. I updated the files and the instructions I appreciate your feedback.
