We then call self.initExif() and self.initDates() and set a flag to indicate whether the file was valid or not. If not valid, the Image() function would raise an IOError exception.

The initExif() function uses PIL to read the EXIF data from the img object, as shown in the following code snippet:

self.exif_info={ ExifTags.TAGS[id]:y for id,y in image._getexif().items() if id in ExifTags.TAGS ...
