Python interface to ISO9660 volume attributes (title, publisher, etc.)
 
I wrote this because the traditional Python ISO9660 package no longer
compiled very well with the new SWIG.  It seemed like a mess to work
with and this project took only about a half hour.  Additionally, this
is pure Python, and I couldn't think of a good reason to use C/SWIG for
a task this simple.  I used the file isosize.c (included with IsoInfo)
to get descriptions of the attributes.
See the class ISOHeader for usage.
 
This also works as a command line utility:
 
    python ISOHeader.py /dev/cdrom

Classes
            
ISOHeader
 
class ISOHeader
      Allows access to many of the attributes on an ISO9660 volume.
 
Common attributes:
    volume_id (the CD title, also aliased to title)
    publisher_id
    creation_time (a string like '2002011313145500')
    data_preparer_id
 
Example:
    cdrom = ISOHeader('/dev/cdrom')
    print cdrom.title
    print cdrom.publisher_id
    
See the attributes static method for a list of all ISO attributes.
 
   Methods defined here:
__init__(self, device, autostrip=1)
device is a device with a CD in it, like '/dev/hdd' or
'/dev/cdrom'.  autostrip is whether each attribute should have
whitespace stripped from each end.
Static methods defined here:
attributes()
Returns a list of all ISOHeader attribute names
