Using Python to generate MIDI files (Mac)

[kevin parks]

Anyone have a working module to generate MIDI files? with Python? I
have seen this asked before, but not really answered. I know that
there is a module to read MIDI files, and a few shakey attempts to
send MIDI data in real-time out a port, but I specifically want to
generate a midi file that i can then further mangle in other programs.

I would like to be able to read in midi files, parse them and muck 'em
up and
write them out again, but that all really depends on being able to
write the MIDI file in the first place...

Just curious. I would have thought that someone might have done this
buy now. I am surpised there is not much call for MIDI modules in
Python. MIDI (though in general total crap for some musical
application (like anything not equal-tempered, which pretty much kills
anything i am doing) (ironic isn't it? MIDI was made for music!, see
skinny and other protocols for what should have been) MIDI is ok for
some music applications and for controlling (music, lighting, etc.)

blah...blah...blah...

Anyone.
