You're right Harry.
I succumbed to the temptation to reach to more people at the same time :).

  Hey,
 Just to say, I think this is mainly related to Lin-Audio-Dev, so I wont be
 sending to lin-user in furthur replies..
 And on the topic for a second, python bindings exist for MidiDings, a
 module that can use both AlsaSeq & Jack Midi.
 I have a very limited amound of experince with it, as i found the AlsaSeq
 python package to be much simpler to use.
 (It does however not support Jack Midi.) Might i suggest to use AlsaSeq
 first if this is your first Python/Midi project,
 despite there only being a few demos/tutorials for AlsaSeq, its a great way
 to get acces to the Alsa Sequencer.
 AlsaSeq also has a "Helper-Module", called alsamidi, which helps creating
 messages in a generic & easy way without
 getting your hands dirty in Midi bytes, commands & the likes. (it comes
 with the AlsaSeq tarball, so you'll get it automatically.)
 Cheers, -Harry
