The PyMidi package in my previous email is only for the MAC.
Here's another thing that popped up from googling
http://www.mxm.dk/products/public/pythonmidi


take a look at Peter Parente's PMidi.
It may be a place to start.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncassist
Ooh, and google found something else I hadn't seen before
http://pete.yandell.com/software/pymidi/Read%20Me.html

I'm interested in sending/receiving sysex via python, myself, but haven't 
started on that project yet.

Let me know how your project is coming along.
