Hi,
I want to sort lots of image and video files according to recorded date. I want to read EXIF data from these files.
I have found a script named EXIF.py but it can read only EXIF data in image files, not video files i.e. mp4 and mov.
How can I read EXIF information from image files AND mp4, mov files?

Thanks.

Look at Hachoir.
Perhaps you could use it for images too.

On https://pypi.python.org look for some wrapper for FFmpeg. You could get video metadata easy.

try PIL ffor images

import PIL.Image
img = PIL.Image.open('img.jpg')
exif_data = img._getexif()

or

import PIL.ExifTags
exif = {
    PIL.ExifTags.TAGS[k]: v
    for k, v in img._getexif().items()
    if k in PIL.ExifTags.TAGS
}
