Hello all, I needed this and did a quick search around and didn't see any examples. I knew it had to be easy, and it was. So here it is a CD_Autorun program in python. It is very simple and without comments is only about 30 lines. Also included a setup.py at the end of the script so you can 'compile' it easily.
