Hi Tim,
Python won't fly supersonic anyway; so as long as
you're not expecting
sub-millisecond latency from your MIDI -> X signal path I don't see
why it shouldn't work. However, binding to certain widgets might prove
hard if they don't come with their own X Window ID.
Quick update: I've
built a basic tool for mapping MIDI control events to
X events. The current version maps MIDI events to one of three possibilities:
Mouse clicks, keystrokes, and mouse drags. It's got a little GUI that lets
you calibrate those mappings on the fly, and I can already use it to control
programs like jamin, for example. You can find the current version at
http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~brinkman/software/pyseq.tgz
if you're interested.
Best,
Peter
