Playing MP3 files with Python

I'm trying to write my own media player (like Foobar), and I'm having trouble tracking down a Python library that'll play MP3s. I know Pymedia does mp3s, but it looks outdated - the latest installer is for Python version 2.4, and I'm using 2.6. I've never had much success with Pygame, and Pyglet doesn't look like it has too much in the way of documentation. Are there any other alternatives?

There is http://pyglet.org/ and also have you tried http://code.google.com/p/mp3play/? It's also available from PyPi (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mp3play/) However, I think mp3play is Win32 only for now.

Looking at the updates, there were commits within last couple of months.
