Answer 1

I was looking to get image titles into caja-columns, and using the help here came up with

Install caja-columns.py from https://gist.github.com/infirit/497d589c4dcf44ffe920

Edit code to have

from PIL import Image
from PIL import ExifTags
from PIL.ExifTags import TAGS

...


                            im = Image.open(filename)
                            exif_data = im._getexif()
                            exif = {
                                    TAGS[k]: v
                                    for k, v in im._getexif().items()
                                    if k in TAGS
                            }

                            file.add_string_attribute('title',exif['ImageDescription'])                                file.add_string_attribute('pixeldimensions',str(im.size[0])+'x'+str(im.size[1]))

And you will hopefully get a populated Title field for images

Answer 2

You can do it with PIL:

from PIL import Image
img = Image.open('img.jpg')
exif_data = img._getexif()

(I got that from this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4765242/2761986)

EDIT: To get a cleaner dictionary, do this (borrowed from answer above):

from PIL.ExifTags import TAGS
exif = {
    TAGS[k]: v
    for k, v in img._getexif().items()
    if k in TAGS
}
