Read image XMP data in Python

Question

Can I use PIL, like in this example?

I only need to read the data, and I\'m looking for the easiest simplest way to do it (I can\'t install

Answer 1

Well, I was looking for something similar, then I came across the PHP equivalent question and I translated the anwer to Python:

f = 'example.jpg'
fd = open(f)
d= fd.read()
xmp_start = d.find('

you can then convert xmp_str and parse it with an XML API.
