Control VLC from Python in Windows

I'm running VLC (a media player) in Windows 7. Is there way to control (as in: play, pause, set volume) a running instance of VLC from Python?

Yes, you can control it via telnet (with telnetlib). There are also libvlc bindings, but I'm not sure you can use that to control an existing VLC instance.
