may be it's good idea realize some ideas about naming files from exiflow project
http://exiflow.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page

It's also writen on python

and ability to have file name like
YYYYMMDD-HHSSMM-[NIKNAME|INITIALS|CAM_MODEL]-ID.jpg
or something like this is really useful and desired.

I think it can be configured through patterns in config file
for example like in exfalso for renaming music files by tags
<DATE>-<TIME>-<WHATEWER_YOU_WANT>_00.jpg

perhaps it's a good idea to move this whole renaming functionality into a 
plugin that
may be used on demand (and with different configurations)

The Download plug-in already has this functionality the difference being that 
it is
not designed to rename in place but to either move or copy the photos as it 
gets them
imported.  

This functionality is in a separate code module from the download plug-in core 
code
(nameBuilder.py & nameBuilder.glade) so this could be split out and become the
library to do all of the file re-naming on import or as a plug-in.
