This directory, pm_python, is a placeholder for pyPortMidi, bindings

for Python to PortMidi.

For now, there are two possibly useful files:

PyPortMidi is a Python wrapper for PortMidi. PortMidi is a cross-platform
12
C library for realtime MIDI control. Using PyPortMidi, you can send and
13
receive MIDI data in realtime from Python.
15
Besides using PyPortMidi to communicate to synthesizers and the
16
like, it is possible to use PyPortMidi as a way to send MIDI messages
17
between software packages on the same computer. For example, Using
18
PyPortMidi and MIDI-YOKE on a Windows machine, it is possible to send
19
realtime MIDI messages between programs on the same computer using
20
loopback virtual MIDI ports. (At this time, MIDI-YOKE does not appear
21
to run on Windows Vista.)
23
PyPortMidi is cross-platform, but it will require some small
24
changes in the setup.py file for it to install correctly on Linux
25
machines. The changes should be pretty straightforward, and I am
26
anxious to work with a Linux user on the port.
28
PyPortMidi works with Python 2.6 and Python 3.1, although the ports
29
are mostly separate because of various language incompatibilities.
31
Please see README26.txt for information about the Python 2.6 version.

See README31.txt for information about the Python 3.1 version.
