Mido and virtual midi ports

[dore_m]

I'm new here, and hope someone might point me to the right direction, or show me some demo code I might review.

I'm trying to use MIDO to allow a python script to send midi notes to a DAW. This requires accessing virtual midi ports (I think). I basically want my script to be able to control midi instrument apps that already reside in the same computer. There are other utilities out there that I might be able to use, but I'm not sure which and how to connect the script to them.

Any suggestions welcome.

I figured it out. using mido, I had to use loopmidi to create a virtual midi port input. Then, I used one of the mido commands to query the midi ports to find the name. Then I just input the port into the script.
