pycdio is a Python interface to the CD Input and Control library (libcdio). You can get the source at the same place as libcdio: ftp://ftp.gnu.org:/pub/gnu/libcdio/pycdio-0.10.tar.gz
The pycdio and libcdio libraries encapsulate CD-ROM reading and control. Python programs wishing to be oblivious of the OS- and device-dependent properties of a CD-ROM can use this library. libcdio is rather large and yet may still grow a bit. (UDF support in libcdio may be on the horizon.) What is in pycdio is incomplete; over time it may grow to completion depending on various factors: e.g. interest, whether others help out, etc. Some of the incompleteness is due to my lack of understanding of how to get SWIG to accomplish wrapping various return values. If you know how to do better, please let me know. Likewise suggestions on how to improve classes or Python interaction are more than welcome. Sections of libcdio that are currently missing are the (SCSI) MMC commands, the cdparanoia library, CD-Text handling and the entire ISO-9660 library. Of the audio controls, I put in those things that didn't require any thought. That said, what's in there is very usable (It contains probably more access capabilities than what most media players that don't use libcdio have :-). Stand-alone documentation is missing although most (all?) of the methods, classes, modules and functions have some document strings. See also the programs in the example directory, which includes for example a program to play a CD using audio CD controls. I've tested this on GNU/Linux and Solaris and it comes with some basic regression tests. On cygwin things build but you will need a libcdio DLL's which is not built by default. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
