Oops.  Sorry 'bout that.  My bad.

There are a couple of differences besides file names.  All the images  
appear to have a default rating of 0 and images have Captions rather  
than Names.  Also, rating go from 0 to 5 rather than 0 to 100, so you  
don't have to divide to get stars.

     library = plistlib.readPlist(os.path.expanduser('~/Pictures/ 
iPhoto Library/AlbumData.xml'))
     for photo in library['Master Image List'].values():
         if hasattr(photo, 'Rating') and photo.Rating > 0:
             print '%s: %d stars' % (photo.Caption, photo.Rating)

How's that?
