What you're looking for is called EXIF, which stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. A good place to start would be http://www.exif.org (or maybe Google, now that you know the name of the format...) Without having researched very far, I would guess that a lot of the familiar MP3 tag-manipulation routines floating around out there could be easily modified to read EXIF data instead - or, perhaps there are already Python EXIF libraries?
