Python-uinput
=============

Uinput is a Linux kernel module which allows attaching user-space
device drivers into the Linux kernel. Python-uinput provides a
pythonic API to the Linux uinput-system.

Usage example
-------------

Create and use a new uinput device with key-capabilities:

    import uinput

    events = (uinput.KEY_E, uinput.KEY_H, uinput.KEY_L, uinput.KEY_O)

    device = uinput.Device(events)

    device.emit(uinput.KEY_H, 1) # Press.
    device.emit(uinput.KEY_H, 0) # Release.
    device.emit(uinput.KEY_E, 1)
    device.emit(uinput.KEY_E, 0)
    device.emit(uinput.KEY_L, 1)
    device.emit(uinput.KEY_L, 0)
    device.emit(uinput.KEY_L, 1)
    device.emit(uinput.KEY_L, 0)
    device.emit(uinput.KEY_O, 1)
    device.emit(uinput.KEY_O, 0)
