Python & Music: Performance question

[achrist at easystreet.com]

Is there anything in Python like the Midi support in the java
sdk?  (under MS Windows) It's pretty easy in java to send midi data 
straight from the program to the midi sequencer or synthesizer
(no need to write a file or deal with some external player).   
Anything like that for Python?
