>Description:
Taglib library lists two python bindings on it's website[1]:
 - taglib-python (audio/py-taglib)
 - tagpy (audio/py-tagpy)

audio/py-taglib doesn't developed since 2005 and deprecated upstream [2]. It also work with python2.4 only, that is reached it's EOL. It's unmaintained and nobody in the tree depends on it. So i think we should mark it deprecated in remove in one month. User should be suggested to use audio/py-tagpy instead.
