I've previously successfully used the Python interface for MAD:

which was trivial to use in combination with libao's python interface (and
throw in ogg.vorbis from xiph.org and you've got a complete player :)

Also, these days you might want to look into gstreamer. It rocks*, but I've
not personally used it.:

  http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/
