manipulating movie files with Python

I would like to write a python script which could take a movie file name
(avi, mov, mpg) along with a start and stop time as parameters, and
return to me a new movie file just containing that section of the
original which I'm interested in. Is there a Python library which could
already perform such magic? Thanks for any suggestions.

Best regards,
Tim

I think you'll find ffmpeg the right tool for the job.
