Re: [pygame] pygame.midi using portmidi?

["René Dudfield" <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

yes, something like that would be good.  There could be a separate
function running in a background thread to handle all of the input
midi.  Which I think would just run code similar to what is in the
example.  Probably something very useful to add.

A piano keyboard example would be a very nice one I think :)

cu,
