The module is part of the PIL library.  Just open the files as usual,
and inspect the image properties:

>>> from PIL import Image
>>> im = Image.open("some mcidas file")
>>> print im.mode
>>> print im.size
>>> print im.info
>>> im.save("copy.png")

Note that it's a very basic reader; it only supports basic 8/16/32-bit
images, and I don't think it extracts any metadata beyond pixel format
and size.
