Not at all, I'm afraid. These libraries have a completely 
different API, and the Python QuickTime module wraps the Apple 
Quicktime API.

I must say I have absolutely no clue why the people who did 
those two quicktime for Linux implementations decided to not 
follow Apple's API. It is by far the best combination of power 
and simplicity I've seen: powerful when you need it but simple 
if you want to do simple things. And easy to understand for 
something this size.
