Test this:

from osgeo import gdal

def calculate_geoxy(gt, xy):
    """Calculate georeferenced coordinate from given x and y"""
    xgeo = gt[0] + gt[1] * xy[0] + gt[2] * xy[1];
    ygeo = gt[3] + gt[4] * xy[0] + gt[5] * xy[1];

    return (xgeo, ygeo)

ds = gdal.Open(gtiff_filename)
prj = ds.GetProjection()
gt = tuple(list(ds.GetGeoTransform()))
dim = (
(0,0),(0,ds.RasterYSize),(ds.RasterXSize,0),(ds.RasterXSize,ds.RasterYSize)
)
ext = (calculate_geoxy(gt, dim[0]), calculate_geoxy(gt, dim[1]),
           calculate_geoxy(gt, dim[2]), calculate_geoxy(gt, dim[3]))
