Open source library to get geotags from images?

Is there an open source library to efficiently and reliably get geotags from an image?

I want something system agnostic, hence a library instead of a program. I would love something well documented and in Python but any language works.

I'm not looking for exif reader per se, not all geotags are stored in exif. I want something that can find geotags independent of how they are stored in the image's metadata.

You can use GDAL (even though it may be overkill).

The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) is a computer software library for reading and writing raster and vector geospatial data formats, and is released under the permissive X/MIT style free software license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.

The advantage of GDAL is that it supports a huge number of geotagged formats.

If you want to do a quick test on your data, there is an utility app that should print what you want.

I maintain the MetadataExtractor library which supports GPS data along with many other kinds of metadata.

It has implementations in:

Here's a sample that produces a Google Map from a batch of images:
