I tried an EXIF.py a few years ago, but it didn't work out.  I think
it didn't handle GPS tags.  I ended up making a wrapper around exiv2
invocations, which seemed a bit silly but it got the job done better
than anything I could find.  Were I to start now, I would probably try
pyexiv2 first, but I haven't.

My gps-tags-only exiv2 wrapper:

You almost certainly don't want it as a general EXIF wrapper, but it
might be handy for the bits that translate to and from the EXIF data
formats.  (e.g. 122418787/1000000 + "W" <-> -122.418787)
(An old version of exiv2 would need an old version of the wrapper.
They changed the command line flags and output format a while back.)

I've been using Tamás Gulácsi's iptcinfo.py for IPTC.
