Well, I have been avoiding C and C++ since 96 so I'm beginning to forget 
it, and C-extentions bring up frightful memories. ;)

No, it ain't that complex. But it takes very careful driving, I don't 
understand all the details which annoy me, and then going from just 
wrapping methods to making objects didn't seem very inviting. ;) So I'll 
go for Pyrex first and see if that works.

Yeah, yeah, I know you like MidiShare. ;) I'm sure it's great. But one 
of the original objectives when I started this was to make something 
simple and low-level that did not require third-party libraries.

I notice that the interest in this seem frigthfully low, but I don't 
care. I'll just have to do it all myself. No problems, it will just take 
very long. :)
