In Python, how can I find out where in an image file the EXIF tag is located? I’m assuming it’s in the beginning of the file, but I have some proprietary image formats and want to make sure this is always the case. Thanks.

That depends not only on EXIF iself, but also in the file type.
I assume that you’re interested in JPEG files, so looking at the wikipedia page I see the following paragraph:
Hence, at least for JPEG files, you might find some images in which the Exif header doesn’t appear at the beggining of the file.
