They basically haven't been written. I encourage people to write 
tutorials and put them up on techbase.kde.org.

Works here:

-----------------------------------------------------------
from PyKDE4.kdecore import *
from PyKDE4.solid import *

def main():
     curDevice = Solid.Device.allDevices()
     for cdrom in curDevice:
         if cdrom.isDeviceInterface (Solid.DeviceInterface.Block):
             drive = cdrom.asDeviceInterface (Solid.DeviceInterface.Block)
             print drive.device()

main()

[sbe at zootv ~/devel/pykde4]$ python solid_cdrom.py
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda
/dev/hdb
/dev/hda4
/dev/hda3
/dev/hda2
/dev/hda1
/dev/hda
-----------------------------------------------------------

What version of PyKDE4 are you using exactly? I've more or less got 4.0.

cheers,
