Image organization tool.
$ python tymeline.py <directory>
The directory is the only argument and specifies the top-level directory where sorting of pictures should be done.
It will create top-level directories denoting the Year which images within that directory were taken. A maximum of 12 sub-directories will be created for each of the top-level Year directories, each denoting the Month which the picture was taken (numerically). Finally, images are then moved into their corresponding folders.
If there are directories or other non-image files at the specified directory, they will be moved into a folder called unsorted at the top-level directory.
Moving new pictures into the top-level directory, outside of any of the Year folders, and re-executing tymeline.py will sort the remaining pictures into their corresponding Year directory or unsorted.
~/test » tree # unsorted images at the top-level directory
