I posted on an active thread of mido in case it's an upstream problem.\r\n\r\nI remember in january I tried this library and got the lights working - just did a fresh install of the library and no code works anymore!\r\n\r\nthe only code that doesn't make the errror appear is:\r\n\r\n`push = push2_python.Push2(use_user_midi_port=True)\r\n`\r\nbut when i try to light up the pads nothing happens. I also tried calling the method push.configure_midi() but still not response from the push2.\r\n\r\n\r\nI just found the old virtualenv that worked in january, the working state of the dependecies is : push2-python @ git+https://github.com/ffont/push2-python@ae91501788469f2c54aa95ed12f37f83505d73f8\r\n\r\n\r\nKinda new to the whole MIDI ecosystem!
