Bug#543296: RFP: python-pycdio -- Python interface to libcdio optical media control library

  Description     : Python interface to libcdio optical media control library

pycdio is a Python interface to the CD Input and Control library
(libcdio).

The pycdio (and libcdio) libraries encapsulate reading and control of
optical media devices (CD, DVD), for Python programs wishing to be
oblivious of the OS- and device-dependent properties of optical media
devices.

The encapsulation by SWIG is done in two parts. The lower-level python
interface is called pycdio and is generated by SWIG.

The more object-oriented module is cdio; it is a Python class that
uses pycdio. Although pycdio is perfectly usable on its own, it is
expected that cdio is what most people will use. As pycdio more
closely models the C interface, it is conceivable (if unlikely) that
diehard libcdio C users who are very familiar with that interface
could prefer that.
