I don't know of any kipi plugin written in Python: I don't think libkipi has 
Python bindings, so that would be a problem.

It is most likely possible to write this. Nepomuk is part of kdelibs so I 
assume it has Python bindings, then there are a few Python modules to 
manipulate Exif data (pyexiv2 for example). Such a script would be nice to 
have even when Gwenview gets the sync feature because it would allow one to 
sync his existing collection of images.
