Well, yes and no... For integers it would do a binary shift, but in Python
operators can be overloaded for user-defined types. With mididings, A >> B
means "connect B to A".
In the example above, all incoming MIDI events first go through a filter
that removes anything except note-on events. The remaining events are then
split by note number, so that each key runs a different command.
The idea behind mididings is that you use Python to define how MIDI events
are processed by connecting different "units". But all Python code is
(usually) run at startup. Once event processing is started, this is done
completely in C++, mainly because of latency and realtime safety.

A
binary shift right? Do you know any ways to receive midi events to
start programms,
execute shell-scripts or using other things you normaly do with your
computer-keyboard and shortcuts?
This is one of the things mididings (http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/)
was made for.
For example, the following Python script would listen on an ALSA MIDI
port, and run different shell commands in response to note-on events:
from mididings import *
run(
Filter(NOTEON) >> KeySplit({
60: System('foo'),
61: System('bar'),
...
})
)
