Re: [pygame] Midi Crashes on Error

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris,

python-rtmidi looks great. It should replace pyportmidi as the Pygame 
midi backend. In particular, I like the midi event callback which rtmidi 
provides. This will allow midi events to be tied into SDL events. Just 
wondering, if the Python level callback is found to be too slow, could a 
C level callback mechanism be provided?
