pyrtmidi is a Python interface to RtMidi?. It provides real-time midi input and output. Original developement on http://trac2.assembla.com/pkaudio/wiki/pyrtmidi

Here is a corrected version for Linux and a support for naming midi Clients and input/output ports

Pass a name to a midi client: rtmidi.RtMidiIn("in_name") rtmidi.RtMidiOut("out_name")

Pass a name to a midi port on your midi client (ex: midiIn/midiOut): midiIn.openPort(port, "in_port") midiOut.openPort(port, "out_port")
