Hello all,
I needed this and did a quick search around and didn't see any
examples.
I knew it had to be easy, and it was.
So here it is a CD_Autorun program in python.
It is very simple and without comments is only about 30 lines.
Also included a setup.py at the end of the script so you can
'compile' it easily.

py>############ ############### ############### ############### ############
py># Why, you ask , because it was sorta easy and free ;)
py># Really I just have fun writing my on tools and I
py># needed a simple autoloader for a project I am working on.
py># It is not full featured and guarnteed to have a few bugs.
