PIL or something to open EXIF Metadata with Python

[Jose Trevino]

I am trying to load the PIL module to manage exif metadata with Python but have had no success. I do some work relate with applescript, but for large files time increases exponentially. So I changed to Python with the intention of using PIL or something similar. I see that the last update of PIL is like 3 years ago, so I don't know if it is still working. I downloaded the last version of PIL to my mac, but I can't get python to recognize PIL included commands. Does anybody has a suggestion?  Thanks.
