Are you able to hook into ALSA? I've had reasonable success driving a USB-MIDI cable using ALSA. See if you can do it with the inbuilt 'pmidi' app first: $ pmidi -p 128:0 No.19.mid (that uses port 128:0 which is a TiMidity-provided one) If that works, you can then look for Python ALSA bindings, which I believe are available on PyPI. My example is from Linux, so you may need to tweak things on other OSes. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
