The repo is misleading. I started by forking pylibdvd. I wrote dvdnav.py, dvdread.py, and dvdcss.py myself. I was going to rewrite the __init__.py. I agree that the C code serves little purpose, so I was planning to remove it, anyway, and rewrite the package init to use the same interface.

Unfortunately, I need to delete everything I didn't write because the forked project has no licence, meaning, under default rules, it's full copyrighted and I can't do anything with it. I'm hoping the original author responds to my issue and assigns a licence.
