I am not sure which ones are duplicates and such. I would like to do
something with the md5 sum to make sure that I have all the pictures
in one place (and all of them backed up somewhere).

Why not just compare the files directly? The *nix "diff" command would make this easy -- I'm not sure what Windows offers. You could also just read() the data from two files and see if data1 == data2.

My second need is more wxPython specific. I would like to have some
easy way to preview each image and attach keywords to them (beach,
people's names, whatever) so that I can later search for pictures by
keyword. I think this probably looks like a wxPython app with an
image preview and a drop downmenu of keywords.

I don't know it that quite exists, but I'd check out Cornice:

http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/extra/cornice.html

and Andrea's thumbnailcontrol:

http://xoomer.alice.it/infinity77/eng/freeware.html#thumbnailctrl

which will be a good help.

Cornice is very nice -- I'd been hoping to find the time to add a feature to it that would allow setting tags -- but haven't had the chance.

good luck,
