Description Casper Ti. Vector 2012-04-12 07:27:10 UTC 
The internal MIDI player (enabled by the `portmidi' USE flag) of media-sound/frescobaldi requires the `pyportmidi' python module, which can be introduced by the `python' USE flag of media-libs/portmidi.
Therefore, media-sound/frescobaldi, when enabling the portmidi USE flag, should depend on `media-libs/portmidi[python]', not just `media-libs/portmidi' (as of media-sound/frescobaldi-2.0.4).
Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-12 09:33:20 UTC 
I believe you are mistaken as per upstream INSTALL file:

For MIDI the PortMidi library is used, either via importing 'pypm',
'pyportmidi._pyportmidi, or [ ... ] 
embedding the PortMidi C-library via ctypes.

And the C-library is always installed, so the fallback is available in any case.
Comment 2 Casper Ti. Vector 2012-04-12 10:27:50 UTC 
Yes, now I find it working without media-libs/portmidi[python], so something might be wrong with my configurations at that time.
Thanks for your clarification :)
