I recently migrated to ubuntu studio 20.04 and was wondering why no

dropping python2 and the lack of maintainers for mididings.
How have you handled this ? Is there an alternative or do you reinstate
python2 and build mididings ?
Can qmidiroute do what you need?
Maybe for basic routing, but mididings is way more powerful mod-able
than qmidiroute is.
File a bug report with the mididings maintainer? To "reinstate" python2
in many distros means use an older version... go back to 18.04 or
something like that. or find a distro that still keeps older pythons.
Didn't dig deep in python2/3 mess, and my live machine is not at home by
now, but I do use Mididings in a Debian Bullseye uptodate, and it works
like a charm. I don't remember having done anything about python2 and
python3, and I do use both.
Still, mididings isn't in Debian Bullseye repository either, so I
suppose it's goin to disappear from time to time. My version probably
comes from when I first installed this machine years ago.
Bitrot is a thing. Any software without maintainance will just one day
not be usable.
What is it about bitrot? Will be stopped too?
