[LAU] midi in python, 2 pygame.midi questions

Hi I'm working on some midi thing in python. I had a hard time finding a decent library. In the past I used PySeq alot, but that's tricky to install and seems un-maintained. So I settled for pygame, and it's going ok. However: 1) In PySeq I created inports and outports that were visible for instance in qjackctl. Is that possible in pygame (currently I just connect to the right client from python)? Why would I prefer one over way over the other? 2) If I unplug the connected client or press ctrl-c (my preferred way of exiting my programs) I get: PortMidi call failed... PortMidi: `Bad pointer' type ENTER... How can I exit a pygame program cleanly without getting errors? 3) One of the things I'd like to do I automatically connect to any client that shows up while the program is running and *gracefully handle it* if clients disappear while the program is running. I imagine the first is a matter of scanning for clients every now and then, but right now I get the error mentioned in 2) if I pull the plug on a device that my program is connected to. Any ideas how to handle this? Any feedback is greatly appreciated! -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk
