Agreed! Am getting there, but am running into a bobble which I am
hoping you or someone else will understand :-)

Have assembled the two files below, midi2tcp.py and tcp2midi.py; you
may find them here. When run thus, in separate xterms:

python2 tcpmidi.py localhost:44440
python2 midi2tcp.py localhost:44440

the second connects with the first via TCP, and they both sit quietly,
waiting. In Catia, I connect RtMidiIn-Client to UM-ONE (USB MIDI
interface to my keyboard), everything still sits quietly. Then I press
one key on the keyboard once, and both sides report note_on and
note_off over and over again, without stopping until I terminate
them! Have gone over the Mido docs and sample code several times, have
tried setting 'message' to None after transmit and after receive on
both sides, have also recoded to use accept(), no change. Have not
found a way to handle this besides terminating and restarting the TCP
connection at every message. Ideas anyone?

Interestingly, the frequency of the current unintended behavior is a
very steady 12 messages per 1/100 of a second (1200 messages per
second), so I'll think the Mido library is probably incorporating
timing of some sort to semi-mimic hardware MIDI and/or prevent overuse
of hardware; time will tell.
