python + mplayer

[Mike Zupan]

I'm wondering if anyone has a link or made a script to control mplayer
via python. I'm aware that freevo does it but I don't wanna debug
their code to figure it all out. I'm looking for something very simple
that can get me started in controlling mplayer in a python app. I'd
like to get a movie into a pygame app i'm doing.

Reminds me of something I wanted to do for mplayer, i.e
writing an ncurses interface for it. Python has a curses
module which I am planning to use.

I have not started working on this, but will start sometime
soon.
