I wrote a C++ library with Python bindings (libtagedit) for most likely 
that purpose. You are able to read/write the most interesting fields in 
ogg and mp3 (ID3v2.x) tags without notice of the file type.
The fields are: Artist, Title, Album, Year, Comment, Genre and Track.
To use it, you will need sip (from www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk), the 
C++ library and Python bindings are at 
www.sourceforge.net/projects/libtagedit. I use those library myself 
heavily with large portions of mp3/ogg files, the only bug by now I know 
of is sometimes wrong detection of mp3 file length and bitrate, but I 
did not have the time to get into this.
The mp3 plugin can read ID3v1 tags, but converts them to ID3v2 tags on 
writing.
If you do not like using sip and you need only and full access to 
ID3v2.x tags, I'll could give you a standalone C++ library, for which 
you could generate Python bindings.

Refering to former postings, I do not claim to be standards compliant, 
but Xmms, Xine and Winamp (2.xx and 3) are able to read them flawlessly, 
or, at least, I did not hear complains...
