module import error in pygame when playing midi

I am wondering whether the packaging of the latest version of pygame, 1.9.1, is complete. When running the midi example i get a module import error.

python -m pygame.examples.midi --list
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/runpy.py", line 122, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/runpy.py", line 34, in _run_code
    exec code in run_globals
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/midi.py", line 820, in <module>
    print_device_info()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/midi.py", line 25, in print_device_info
    pygame.midi.init()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/midi.py", line 71, in init
    import pygame.pypm
ImportError: No module named pypm

I have timidity installed and running as a daemon. pmidi and vkeybd work fine.

Re: module import error in pygame when playing midi

Hi djszapi,
Sorry for not replying earlier.

The output should be something like this:

python -m pygame.examples.midi --list
0: interface :ALSA:, name :Midi Through Port-0:, opened :0:  (output)
1: interface :ALSA:, name :Midi Through Port-0:, opened :0:  (input)
2: interface :ALSA:, name :TiMidity port 0:, opened :0:  (output)
3: interface :ALSA:, name :TiMidity port 1:, opened :0:  (output)
4: interface :ALSA:, name :TiMidity port 2:, opened :0:  (output)
5: interface :ALSA:, name :TiMidity port 3:, opened :0:  (output)
