Library to read ELF file DWARF debug information

Question

Any recommendations for a good cross-platform library for reading ELF file debug information in DWARF format? I\'d like to read the DWARF debug info in a Python program.

You might be interested in the DWARF library from pydevtools:

>>> from devtools.dwarf import DWARF
>>> dwarf = DWARF('test/test')
>>> dwarf.get_loc_by_addr(0x8048475)
('/home/emilmont/Workspace/dbg/test/main.c', 36, 0)
>>> print dwarf
.debug_info
