Just to try, I downloaded mp3.py from http://www.dotfunk.com/projects/mp3
and a sample mp3 file (not having audio on this box I don't have mp3's
around either),
http://www.aardvarkrecords.co.uk/elibowen/sounds/evesample.mp3,
and running mp3.py on the sample seems to work just fine on this win32 box:

D:\PySym>python mp3.py evesample.mp3
evesample.mp3
