I'm writing a sequencer in Python, although it's microtonal and not MIDI. I'm using the Python bindings for the Csound API, all the timing, MIDI, OSC, etc. stuff, essentially all but the GUI capabilities, having been done by the Csound developers already. Documentation is here and there, and Csound is another language to learn, but it's one way to go about it. I'm about to try to recode my app to calculate tempo and note timing internally and send real-time notes to Csound, instead of having Csound do it all. The problem I've run into is that I can't set the audio to a higher priority than the GUI (Tkinter). If I move the mouse over the app, no matter what, I get audio dropouts. AFAICT this is the same for all Python, regardless of what modules one uses: you can't assign system priorities to different threads. If you're planning to pipe MIDI to another app for playback, maybe it won't be an issue for you. Good luck!
