I'm completely guessing here, but I suspect different techniques are 
used depending on the file format.  eg, I suspect that jpg files used 
the EXIF data, while office files etc use "structured storage".  Windows 
may have APIs available in Vista to hide these details from you, but I'm 
not familiar with them.  You probably need to do a little research into 
how you would access these tags using any language, then we could help 
you use those same techniques from Python.
