You'd need to use PIL (http://www.pythonware.com/) but can definitely do
it.

+ Added experimental EXIF support for JPEG files.  To extract EXIF
  information from a JPEG file, open the file as usual, and call the
  "_getexif" method.  If successful, this method returns a dictionary
  mapping EXIF TIFF tags to values.  If the file does not contain EXIF
  data, the "_getexif" method returns None.

  The "ExifTags" module contains a dictionary mapping tags to tag
  names.

  This interface will most likely change in future versions.

With Python it's easy to fall back to a no-PIL method at runtime if
necessary, so you don't need to worry about the extra dependency so long
as you check the import and only use PIL if it's present.
