hey, I've been messing around with using midi input and output from pygame using the portmidi library.
This should be quite useful for anyone interested in talking to various midi controllers, or music equipment that talks midi. The portmidi dll is only 13KB on windows, so I think maybe 60KB all up once turning it into a python wrapper. It also appears to be quite portable, and is already available in debian/ubuntu/macports/redhat etc. I don't think it supports freebsd, since I don't think freebsd has a finished midi driver yet. portmidi apparently compiles ok with mingw too... but I haven't tried it yet, I've just used a precompiled version. Any objections to including it as an optional part of pygame? I think it'd be very useful for people using pygame for music/multimedia projects... or for people wanting to use more advanced controllers for whatever reason. cu,
