Cornice is a cross-platform image viewer written in Python + wxPython + PIL. It doesn't pretend to be complete, fast, or even useful, but I like it and it is the viewer I use on both Linux and Windows. It has been inspired by the famous Windows-only ACDSee.
Why did I write it? Well, because I like ACDSee, but it's not free and it doesn't run on Linux, which is my main platform. There already exists an ACDsee-like viewer, GTKSee, but it is unmaintained and it lacks some features I wanted (bookmarks, a good keyboard navigation and zooming).

Features

Here is a list of the main features of Cornice:

Fully cross-platform: it should run wherever wxPython does;
Detail and thumbnail view for images;
Image preview;
Automatic recognition of images, with a variety of formats supported;
Bookmarks;
Full-screen view;
Zooming and rotation;
Slideshow;
Good keyboard navigation (still not perfect, but this is true for all the features ;-);
Image loading from zip archives;
i18n support (with Italian and French translations available);
EXIF data support;
Some more...
