If you mean: "you don't have to do anything platform-specific when you 
use MidiShare": that's good news!

I had a quick look at the API and it looks pretty decent. Has it only 
been open-sourced recently?

Ah, yes, good idea. Let's start randomly insulting each other:-(

(For the record: bgen may be quirky, but it has enabled me to almost 
single-handedly open up all major MacOS APIs to Python, and keep those 
interfaces up to date over the last 10 years, from MacOS 7 straight to 
MacOS X. So, while quirky I wouldn't call it "sucky").
