I want to add something to my S60 python app, so that it adds geo EXIF 
tags to photos taken by the camera. I'd looked for ages for a nice python 
library for writing the geo exif tags in (found loads for reading it), but 
didn't find any.

Last week, one of my users pointed me at pexif:

"My main reason for writing this was to provide an easy way for geo-tagging my 
photos, and the library now seems mature enough to do that."

It includes setgps.py, which claims to set the GPS co-ordinates on a jpeg, 
but I've yet to test that (or even try to use it on my phone). Maybe when 
I've moved flat I'll have a chance...
