I may be showing my Python naivety here, but I'm
struggling to see how
to integrate the MIDI thread with other threads in a safe way. I see
that the low-level bindings incorporate a time-out on the poll(), but
there's no callback that'd allow for polling Python Queues, and you
don't appear to release the GIL during the poll().
I always found it sufficient
to do any thread synchronization on the
Python side, using the synchronization primitives provided by Python's
threading module. Do you have an application in mind that would require
synchronization at a lower level?
Also, what sort of functionality would you like to implement by polling
Python Queues in the MIDI thread?
Best,
