Hi Jonathan,
I was using its Python3 AUR adaptation (mididings-git)
under Manjaro, but then after package upgrades, it began to fail at 'from mididings
import *' (see below).
The problem is that mididings in no longer compatible with the latest
Python version (3.10) that you are using. Looking at the GitHub
repository, the source has not received any update since 2015.
It seems the `Callable()` type has moved from the `collections` module
to the `collections.abc` (Abstract Base Classes for Containers) quite a
while ago around Python 3.3.
This will be easily fixable by changing line 16 of mididings/arguments.py to
import collections.abc
and changing line 160 to
elif isinstance(c, collections.abc.Callable):
Of course after you fix it, other errors might or might not crop up. But
maybe it's worth a try.
It seems that there are a number of forks on GitHub, because the project
has been abandoned by the original author around 2015, but other people
are supposedly maintaining bug fixes like this one, or potentially
developing the library further. So you could look over the forked repos
here, find out which one is most active/up-to-date and try using their
fork instead.
If you are using the AUR one easy way to try that out would be to edit
the PKGBUILD file of the mididings-git AUR package and change the
'source=' line to refer to the respective git repo.
Best regards,
Patric

Mididings may be the only JACK-api MIDI router/filter

there is another I'd love to know about it. On the other hand t was
working just dandy until, I think, some changes to both Python3 and
legacy support for Python2. I found similar
failures in Ubuntu 20, and found different failures in both when I tried
setting up to use Python2 (which obviously we would rather not be
doing). The failure is similar to a number of failures reported
starting with Python 3.10, so this may be related, but I was not able to
figure out how to apply those workarounds to the mididings source, I
tried several different variations, including a number of the different
forks in github.
Thoughts, anyone? I found Pigiron and Jamrouter and puredata, but none
of these appear to do JACK. I'm using pipewire now, so I could
theoretically revise the whole rig around ALSA MIDI, but all of the apps
needing MIDI use JACK, and mididings is so elegant...
