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. Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run. Based on README text only; the documentation site and code were not read. Nothing was installed or run.
