Hi Daniel, Ah indeed, that would work as well!
Unfortunately not entirely: pygame 2 allows get() to have a timeout value, so then it might take a while before the midi events could be retrieved. And I don't think I should create a busy-loop. Now I could do the midi polling in a separate thread and then push them into the main event loop. According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15538287/can-i-add-pygame-events-from-a-second-thread the SDL event-loop underneath it is supposed to be thread-safe. Let's see if that works. Thanks sofar!
