image meta data read

okay, im coming along with my project fairly hassle free, however i was wondering if someone knows how i can read/ extract meta data from image files (in windows)...
for example, when u right click on an image in windows explorer and click properties, it shows u information about the image such as title, keywords, author comments, etc.
i want to display this information in my GUI
im using wxpython at the moment.

any help would be MUCH appreciated...

Check the os module's os.stat() function. That gives you a tuple of values. Using the stat module might help with reading the tuple.

Don't understand what? It's simple, click on the links and read about os.stat. It's in 14.1.4 if that makes it easier.

If searched wxPython help files; no luck, yet.

If you know where to find the C reference for this on the Microsoft site, I can show you how to use the ctype library module to get what you are after.
