There are command line programs that can do this:

  http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/cdrecord.html

This (with isoinfo.exe from the above) will list all files in an 
iso image file:

  CD = <path-to-iso>
  import subprocess

  subprocess.call( [ "isoinfo.exe", '-f', '-i', CD ] )

isoinfo.exe also has a switch to extract a file to stdout

One problem you may have is daemon tools will mount cd images that
aren't iso images, where as isoinfo appears to handle only genuine
iso file systems.
