I have a usb midi controller (uc-33e) and I have a working python script see below. I would like to be able to control the variables of the python script using my usb controller does anyone have an example of this? I would like to use the "midi learn" function to automatically map a midi control to an object (like in Ardour which is a music program for linux) by ctrl-middle clicking the object and just turning the control on the usb midi controller to map it. But I'm also willing to hard code the midi CC into the python script if needed.

You should take a look at pygame, which has an excellent and easy MIDI interface. After you get your controller configured, MIDI learn is simply a matter of listening to the first incoming CC and then saving the channel.
