How to access the release date or year from an mp3 file with eyed3 and python2.7

Question

I'm trying to access some mp3 tags like the release year from the mp3 file's album, which is stored in the id3v2 tags under TYER.

I found out that attributes like track_num are located in

class eyed3.core.Tag

Then the python command looks like this:

audiofile = eyed3.load(mp3_file) track_num = audiofile.tag.track_num[0]

Now the year is located in

class eyed3.core.Date(year,...)

So I thougt that would be:

year = audiofile.date.year

But I'm unfortunately wrong...

MSG: AttributeError: 'Mp3AudioFile' object has no attribute 'date'

Does anyone know how it works? Or, a more generic question: How can I get all of the available attributs?

My plattform is windows 10 pro.

Thanks

It's quite strange but I had to post this first before I could find the information myself:-)

It's in class eyed3.id3.tag.Tag

and is named: getBestDate()

The whole necessary code is then:

import eyed3
mp3_file = "The_File_Path"
audiofile = eyed3.load(mp3_file)
year = audiofile.tag.getBestDate()

For more information see the eyed3.pdf file

Thanks
