Re: [pygame] pygame.midi using portmidi?

["René Dudfield" <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

this is because I guess it could be possible that portmidi is
installed, but port time is not... However that's probably a silly
reason... since I think portmidi depends on porttime.

Also, I didn't think to do that :)


ps.  that keyboard in the midi example looks really nice.
