Open a file within an ISO in python.

[danikar]

Is there a way to open a file that is inside of an ISO in python?

Say I have an ISO file, danikars.iso and on the iso there is a file
called information.txt

I want to be able to do something like this.

iso_h = openiso("danikars.iso")
file_h = iso_h.extract("information.txt")
contents = file_h.read()

Is there anything that will give me that functionality? Or close?

Thanks,

Danikar

Under Linux you can mount iso files as loopback devices.

eg:

mkdir mnt
sudo mount -o loop file.iso ./mnt

Then the ./mnt directory will 'contain' the contents of the iso
