Bug 511814 – dev-python/pygame-1.9.2_pre20120101-r2 - pygame.midi.init(): ImportError: No module named pypm

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Created attachment 377822 [details]
output of emerge --info pygame

It looks like the pypm module, required by pygame.midi, is not available.

>>> import pygame.midi 
>>> pygame.midi.init() 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/midi.py", line 71, in init 
    import pygame.pypm 
ImportError: No module named pypm


I checked the python_targets and they are correctly set for 2.7 and 3.3, the portmidi library is installed and checked during configure of pygame.

Fixed in 1.9.3 now in the tree. Enable the midi USE flag to enable midi support via portmidi.
