This package provides a pure python wrapper for libinput, a library that handles input devices for display servers and other applications that need to directly deal with input devices.It provides device detection, device handling, input device event processing and abstraction.
libinput does this by reading character files in /dev/input/, so to use this package you need to run your code as root or to belong to input group.
