Reading JPEG comments with the Python Imaging Library

I needed to read comments from JPEG files for a photo gallery project application I wrote. I used the Python Imaging Library (PIL), which needed a small modification to support JPEG comments. Since a few people have asked for the diffs over the years, I'll post them here.

A patch to support reading JPEG comments for the Python Imaging Library.

Once your PIL is patched, you can access a JPEG's comments like so:

from PIL import Image jpeg = Image.open('example.jpg') comment = jpeg.info.get('comment', '') print 'Jpeg comments: ', comment

Take care.

One python programmer's search for understanding and avocados. This isn't personal, only pythonic.
