How to access metadata fields in HDF4 files in Python?

Hi,
I have imported the following libraries to access the data sets from a HDF4 file in Python 2.7
from pyhdf.SD import SD, SDC
hdf = SD(FILE_NAME, SDC.READ)
hdf.datasets()
While I don't have any issues in accessing the contents of the data sets, I am unable to access the metadata.
I have earlier accessed the metadata in MATLAB using the following commands:
metadata = hdfread(infile, '/metadata', 'Fields', 'Lidar_Data_Altitudes', 'FirstRecord',1 ,'NumRecords',1)
alts = metadata{1}
What are the equivalent commands in Python for accessing the metadata fields from a HDF file in Python?
Thanks in advance
