I'm aware of the existence of pyportmidi, but I find the idea of a ctypes-based Python interface more attractive, since you don't have to compile it for every OS and Python version, as long as a (working!) dynamic portmidi DLL is available. So I tried portmidizero [1], but its interface closely matches the C portmidi API and was not very pythonic or PEP-8 compliant, so I kind of did the same thing you did with pyportmidi and started to adapt it to my needs. I haven't really published this yet or even told the original author of portmidizero about it, but you can find the in-development version of it at the link I posted in my last port. So far it's working under Linux (with the fixed debian package) and OS X, but under Windows I get strange BadPointer errors from PM_Poll(), which I still have to investigate. > We also have some scripts for building portmidi on windows linking to > the correct C libraries for different python versions (2.4,2.5, 2.6,3).
