首先要介绍的是 Python Imaging Library，使用方法如下：
from PIL import Image
from PIL.ExifTags import TAGS
def get_exif_data(fname):
"""Get embedded EXIF data from image file."""
ret = {}
try:
img = Image.open(fname)
if hasattr( img, '_getexif' ):
exifinfo = img._getexif()
if exifinfo != None:
for tag, value in exifinfo.items():
decoded = TAGS.get(tag, tag)
ret[decoded] = value
except IOError:
print 'IOERROR ' + fname
return ret
if __name__ == '__main__':
fileName = 'C:/Users/Leyond/Desktop/IMG_20121122_153514.jpg'
exif = get_exif_data(fileName)
print exif
返回的清单如下：
ExifVersion
ComponentsConfiguration
ExifImageWidth
DateTimeOriginal
DateTimeDigitized
ExifInteroperabilityOffset
FlashPixVersion
MeteringMode
LightSource
Flash
FocalLength
41986
ImageDescription
Make
Model
Orientation
YCbCrPositioning
41988
XResolution
YResolution
59932
ExposureTime
ExposureProgram
ColorSpace
41990
ISOSpeedRatings
ResolutionUnit
41987
FNumber
Software
DateTime
ExifImageHeight
ExifOffset
其中59932,是一大串十六进制的字符，不知为啥。除了PIL之外，还有许多类库可供使用：
Media Metadata for Python
EXIF.py
Python Exif Parser
A Blogger's Exif Parser
pyexiv2
接着看EXIF.PY，使用方法非常简单：exif.py IMG_20121122_153514.jpg

至于Python Exif Parser，好像没更新很久了，使用方法也很类似：
import exif
photo_path = "somePath\to\a\photo.jpg"
data = exif.parse(photo_path)
其他类库请自行研究。
