Please use this mailing list to get support on pymedia: pymedia-users at lists.sourceforge.net
It will make sure you get the quick response.

The documentation is a little scarce at the moment and I'm working on the tutorial to compensate that.

Here is the code which will give you what you need( from pycar ). It is modified to match what you need and therefore not tested.:

    f= open( <file_name>, 'rb' )
    dec= acodec.Decoder( <file_extension> )
    s= f.read( 20000 )
    fr= dec.decode( s )
    # Hardcoding for mp3 IDv1 tags
    if not dec.hasHeader() and <file_extension>== 'mp3':
      f.seek( -128, 2 )
      dec= acodec.Decoder( 'mp3' )
      dec.decode( f.read( 128 ) )

    print dec.getInfo()

Hope this helps.
