Description: *evdev*
        ----------------------------------------
        
        *evdev* provides bindings to the generic input event interface in Linux.
        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 input events can be directly injected into
        the input subsystem.

        Changelog
        =========
        
        0.4.1 (Jul 24, 2013)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Fixes:
            - Fix reference counting in ``device_read``, ``device_read_many``
              and ``ioctl_capabilities``.
        
        
        0.4.0 (Jul 01, 2013)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Enhancements:
            - Add ``FF_*`` and ``FF_STATUS`` codes to ``ecodes`` (thanks @bgilbert).
        
            - Reverse event code mappings (``ecodes.{KEY,FF,REL,ABS}`` and
              etc.) will now map to a list of codes, whenever a value
              corresponds to multiple codes::
        
                >>> ecodes.KEY[152]
                ... ['KEY_COFFEE', 'KEY_SCREENLOCK']
                >>> ecodes.KEY[30]
                ... 'KEY_A'
        
            - Set the state of a LED through ``device.set_led()`` (thanks
              @accek). ``device.fd`` is opened in ``O_RDWR`` mode from now on.
        
        Fixes:
            - Fix segfault in ``device_read_many()`` (thanks @bgilbert).
        
        0.3.3 (May 29, 2013)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Fixes:
            - Raise ``IOError`` from ``device_read()`` and ``device_read_many()`` when
              ``read()`` fails.
        
            - Several stability and style changes (thank you debian code reviewers).
        
        0.3.2 (Apr 05, 2013)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Fixes:
            - Fix vendor id and product id order in ``DeviceInfo`` (thanks @kived).
        
        0.3.1 (Nov 23, 2012)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Fixes:
            - ``device.read()`` will return an empty tuple if the device has
              nothing to offer (instead of segfaulting).
        
            - Exclude unnecessary package data in sdist and bdist.
        
        0.3.0 (Nov 06, 2012)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Enhancements:
            - Add ability to set/get auto-repeat settings with ``EVIOC{SG}REP``.
        
            - Add ``device.version`` - the value of ``EVIOCGVERSION``.
        
            - Add ``device.read_loop()``.
        
            - Add ``device.grab()`` and ``device.ungrab()`` - exposes ``EVIOCGRAB``.
        
            - Add ``device.leds`` - exposes ``EVIOCGLED``.
        
            - Replace ``DeviceInfo`` class with a namedtuple.
        
        Fixes:
            - ``device.read_one()`` was dropping events.
        
            - Rename ``AbsData`` to ``AbsInfo`` (as in ``struct input_absinfo``).
        
        
        0.2.0 (Aug 22, 2012)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Enhancements:
            - Add the ability to set arbitrary device capabilities on uinput
              devices (defaults to all ``EV_KEY`` ecodes).
        
            - Add ``UInput.device`` which is an open ``InputDevice`` to the
              input device that uinput 'spawns'.
        
            - Add ``UInput.capabilities()`` which is just a shortcut to
              ``UInput.device.capabilities()``.
        
            - Rename ``UInput.write()`` to ``UInput.write_event()``.
        
            - Add a simpler ``UInput.write(type, code, value)`` method.
        
            - Make all ``UInput`` constructor arguments optional (default
              device name is now ``py-evdev-uinput``).
        
            - Add the ability to set ``absmin``, ``absmax``, ``absfuzz`` and
              ``absflat`` when specifying the uinput device's capabilities.
        
            - Remove the ``nophys`` argument - if a device fails the
              ``EVIOCGPHYS`` ioctl, phys will equal the empty string.
        
            - Make ``InputDevice.capabilities()`` perform a ``EVIOCGABS`` ioctl
              for devices that support ``EV_ABS`` and return that info wrapped in
              an ``AbsData`` namedtuple.
        
            - Split ``ioctl_devinfo`` into ``ioctl_devinfo`` and
              ``ioctl_capabilities``.
        
            - Split ``uinput_open()`` to ``uinput_open()`` and ``uinput_create()``
        
            - Add more uinput usage examples and documentation.
        
            - Rewrite uinput tests.
        
            - Remove ``mouserel`` and ``mouseabs`` from ``UInput``.
        
            - Tie the sphinx version and release to the distutils version.
        
            - Set 'methods-before-attributes' sorting in the docs.
        
        
        Fixes:
            - Remove ``KEY_CNT`` and ``KEY_MAX`` from ``ecodes.keys``.
        
        
        0.1.1 (May 18, 2012)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Enhancements:
            - Add ``events.keys``, which is a combination of all ``BTN_`` and
              ``KEY_`` event codes.
        
        Fixes:
            - ``ecodes.c`` was not generated when installing through ``pip``.
        
        
        0.1.0 (May 17, 2012)
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
