Playing an MP3 file using pygame (http://www.pygame.org/):

import pygame.mixer as mixer

mixer.init(44100)
mixer.music.load("White Bird.mp3")
mixer.music.play()
mixer.music.get_busy()

print "Press enter to quit."
raw_input()


OTOH streaming MP3 files from the server to the client has IMHO little
to do with Python, it's more of a HTTP thing. As long as you've set the
correct content type and played the right tricks with HTML, it should
just work. FWIW, there's a streaming MP3 server written in Python at
Sourceforge: http://edna.sourceforge.net/
