The README presents Mido as a Python library for working with MIDI messages, ports and files.

Source: https://github.com/mido/mido

What it supplies: The README presents Mido as a Python library for working with MIDI messages, ports and files.

Useful for: - Read, write, create and play MIDI files with access to every message.
- Send and receive live MIDI through input and output ports.
- Read and write SYX files.

First action: - Install with python3 -m pip install mido.
- Add the ports-rtmidi extra if you want to use ports with the default backend.
- Follow the README examples to build a message or open a MidiFile.

Prerequisites and limits: The README requires Python 3.7 or higher and says 1.3 is the fourth stable release under Semantic Versioning.

- Port use needs a backend such as RtMidi, PortMidi or Pygame.
- MIDI over TCP/IP is described as somewhat experimental.

Source-documented: MIT licence.
