Answer 1

For me, gexiv2 works fine:

#!/usr/bin/python3

from gi.repository import GExiv2

exif = GExiv2.Metadata('8snmhp4sjd75vdr27gbadolc003i.jpg')
exif.clear_exif()
exif.clear_xmp()
exif.save_file()

See also Exif manipulation library for python, which you linked, but didn't read all answers ;)
