pyudev is an LGPL licensed, pure Python 2/3 binding to libudev, the device and
hardware management and information library of Linux.

Almost the complete libudev functionality is exposed. You can:

- Enumerate devices, filtered by specific criteria (pyudev.Context)
- Query device information, properties and attributes,
- Monitor devices, both synchronously and asynchronously with background
  threads, or within the event loops of Qt (pyudev.pyqt4, pyudev.pyside),
  glib (pyudev.glib) or the optional dependency wxPython (pyudev.wx).

python3 is an optional dependency (autodetected).
