Yes, pytagsfs would be good at this.

I've never had time to look at it, but I had always hoped to be able to add
support for image tagging.  It would be relatively easy to implement.

Are you interested in contributing an implementation?

If you (or anyone else) are interested, maybe the following can get you started:

Have a look at modules/pytagsfs/metastore/__init__.py and
modules/pytagsfs/metastore/mutagen_.py (an example implementation).  You want to
create a new MetaStore implementation by subclassing MetaStore and override
methods get and set.

The new MetaStore implementation might be called ExifMetaStore and live in
modules/pytagsfs/metastore/exif.py.

Be sure to join the mailing list and post questions there.

Thanks,
Forest
