Description-en: Python 3 bindings for the generic input event interface
The evdev interface serves the purpose of passing events generated in the
kernel directly to userspace through character devices that are typically
located in /dev/input/.
.
evdev also comes with bindings to uinput, the userspace input subsystem.
Uinput allows userspace programs to create and handle input devices from
which they can inject events directly into the input subsystem.
.
This is the Python 3 version of the package.
