Here's an idea: what if we were to remove pyportmidi 0.0.6 from the pygame source and make pygame.midi dependent on stand-alone pyportmidi?
Jason PS. I think the most recent version of pyportmidi, 0.0.7, is here: https://bitbucket.org/aalex/pyportmidi/ From: Christopher Night <cosmologi...@gmail.com> To: pygame-users@seul.org Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2013 4:58 PM Subject: Re: [pygame] Python3 version packaged? That's all well and good for development, but if I want to distribute my game to other Ubuntu users I'm not going to tell players they have to comment out part of the setup file for one of my dependencies and install it from source. I'm not complaining or anything. Set whatever priorities you think are appropriate. I'm just adding another data point: this is blocking me from transitioning to Python3. -Christopher On Tue, Dec 31, 2013 at 5:47 PM, Lenard Lindstrom <le...@telus.net> wrote: Hi, On Gnu/Linux it is simpler to just build Pygame from source. The dependencies are libsdl-mixer, libsdl-image, libsdl-ttf, and libportmidi0. Installing these libraries, and their header file dev packages should force the installation of all Pygame dependencies, such as SDL and freetype2. Also be sure to include the Python3 dev package. Since I do most of my Pygame development on Linux Mint, there should be no compatibility issues on Ubuntu, except with libportmidi0. So I suggest commenting out the Pygame midi module entry in the Setup file.

This would be really helpful in allowing us to transition to Python3 for our projects.
