Reading raw data from disc

2004-12-13 Thread Ivo Woltring
Dear Pythoneers, Is it possible to read e.g. the first 3 sectors of a disc without opening a file or somesuch? I want to bitwise read a cd-rom or other media without consulting a table of contents. Just start at track 0 and go on for x bytes. Is it possible with python and if so, please help me in
