Can use python to play MP3 file?

[Ricky]

Thank you for you all! I means I want to play a MP3 stream using a local MP3
player, while, I'd like to play with transfer stream not download the whole
file to my hard disk and play it.

now, what shall I do? download a special application or use a special
proctor which some thing like http:// news://?

Thank you!
