Lately, mididings has been my go-to for anything MIDI.  There is some
OSC functionality already built-in, but you can also use pyliblo to
whip up a thread inside your mididings script that responds to
incoming OSC.  Then it's just a matter of using the defined generator
units to translate that into MIDI.

It's worth an investigation to see if it will fit your needs.  It's also python.
