Mutagen handles this just fine:

>>> import mutagen
>>> from mutagen.easyid3 import EasyID3
>>> filePath = "8049.mp3"

>>> try:
>>>    meta = EasyID3(filePath)
>>> except mutagen.id3.ID3NoHeaderError:
>>>    meta = mutagen.File(filePath, easy=True)
>>>    meta.add_tags()
>>> meta
{}
>>> type(meta)

>>> meta['title'] = "This is a title"
>>> meta['artist'] = "Artist Name"
>>> meta['genre'] = "Space Funk"
>>> meta.save(filePath, v1=2)
>>> changed = EasyID3("8049.mp3")
>>> changed
{'genre': [u'Space Funk'], 'title': [u'This is a title'], 'artist': [u'Artist Name']}
