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!

I used to use pypm but it has become a bit of a pain (in my case, I also
had to deploy on MacOSX which became almost impossible without jumping
through hoops). So I found portmidizero (https://gitorious.org/portmidizero)
which so far seems to be doing the job but I have not yet worked with it
extensively. However, you cannot install it with easy-install as there are
errors in setup.py (description repeated twice or something like that...
grab the gitorious source, hack it and do setup.py install). pygame seems
like an overkill just for MIDI functionality...
Good luck.
