Prefix undefined event codes with an underscore
Peter Hutterer authored 
Previously, event codes without a kernel define would resolve into properly
named objects, e.g. libevdev.EV_REL.REL_0B

This breaks the API whenever the kernel introduces a new define because that
named object will just disappear. e.g. the above REL_0B is now
REL_WHEEL_HI_RES.

Since the undefined names aren't supposed to be used by callers directly
anyway, rename them to be underscored instead: libevdev.EV_REL._REL_0B
This means we can still return them from evbit() and events() but the
underscore signals a private API.

The actual name remains the same, so print(_REL_0B.name) will not have an
underscore. This is to avoid bugs/breakage where the caller uses the 3-lettter
prefix for other purposes.

python-libevdev - Python wrapper for libevdev

This project is a Python wrapper around libevdev, taking advantage of libevdev's advanced event handling. Documentation is available here: https://python-libevdev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

libevdev makes it easy to

  • read and parse events from an input device
  • create a virtual input device and make it send events
  • duplicate an existing device and modify the event stream

For information about libevdev see here: https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libevdev/
