Also, livewires is a pretty ancient - AFAICT they haven't had a new release
in over a year. Pygame is a little more active in its development and is
really easy enough with so much documentation there's no reason to learn
livewires.

Here's a simple example of playing a midi file with pygame only:

import pygame

pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.music.load('ISawHerStandingThere.mid')
pygame.mixer.music.set_endevent(pygame.QUIT)
pygame.mixer.music.play()

while True:
    event = pygame.event.poll()
    if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
        print 'Quitting'
        break


Of course, replace "ISawHerStandingThere.mid" with whatever music file you
want to play...

HTH,
Wayne
