Hey Ben, there's the sf2utils package: https://pypi.org/project/sf2utils/
I've used this for a while for exactly the same use-case: reading the preset names and displaying them in a list. It works quite well, but is a little slow opening Soundfonds with a large number of presets / instruments / zones. I've since created my own module that is much faster, as it only reads the preset names and doesn't load all the information about generators, modulators, instruments etc. You can find the code here: https://github.com/midigurdy/mg-core/blob/7af42f4bedc7fd071fab139b21e7444d24e5b361/mgurdy/src/mg/sf2.py#L160 Cheers, Marcus Am Mi., 26.
