Python library for converting files to MP3 and setting their quality

Question

I'm trying to find a Python library that would take an audio file (e.g. .ogg, .wav) and convert it into mp3 for playback on a webpage.

Also, any thoughts on setting its quality for playback would be great.

Thank you.

Looks like PyMedia does this:

and some more info here on converting to various formats, whilst setting the bitrate:

e.g.

params= {
'id': acodec.getCodecId('mp3'),
'bitrate': r.bitrate,
'sample_rate': r.sample_rate,
'ext': 'mp3',
'channels': r.channels }
enc= acodec.Encoder( params )
