midipy.py on linux

[Will Hurt]

Hi
Ive been using midipy in my blender3d python scripts on windowsXP, now
im trying to run them from ubuntu and i cant find the midipy.py module
compiled for linux anywhere. 
Is it possible to complie it under linux and how would i go about doing
it --or--
Is there another module which does the same thing available for linux[ie
i can get raw midi data in as a list] and thats why no-ones bothered to
compile midipy under linux?

Thanks
Will
