Two options:

  1. Use GDAL Python bindings.
  2. Run GDALINFO from python and capture the stdout, to get a string with the metadata:
import os
metadata = os.popen('gdalinfo ../rasterfile.tiff').read()
print metadata

You could use gdalinfo: http://www.gdal.org/gdalinfo.html

from osgeo import gdal

filename=gdal.Open("file path")

metadata=filename.GetMetadata()

print(metadata)

  • Even if the answer is simple, coding answers should also contain words describing the solution (and, ideally, a documentation reference). "Wall of code" answers are likely to receive a similar response to "Wall of code" questions (down-voting and removal). Please take the Tour to get a better idea of how GIS SE operates.
