pyudev is a LGPL_ licensed, pure Python_ binding for libudev_, the device and
hardware management and information library for Linux. It supports almost all
libudev_ functionality. You can enumerate devices, query device properties and
attributes or monitor devices, including asynchronous monitoring with threads,
or within the event loops of Qt, Glib or wxPython.
The binding supports CPython_ 3 and compatible versions of PyPy_.
It is tested against udev 151 or newer, earlier versions of udev
as found on dated Linux systems may work, but are not officially supported.
Usage
-----
Usage of pyudev is quite simply thanks to the power of the underlying udev
library. Getting the labels of all partitions just takes a few lines:
>>> import pyudev
>>> context = pyudev.Context()
>>> for device in context.list_devices(subsystem='block', DEVTYPE='partition'):
... print(device.get('ID_FS_LABEL', 'unlabeled partition'))
...
boot
swap
system
The website_ provides a detailed `user guide`_ and a complete `API reference`_.

Request a New Release
---------------------
I continue to maintain this project, but I do not schedule regular releases.
If you believe a new release would help you in some way, please file an issue,
explaining why you need the new release, and I expect I'll put one up.
Why should you explain why you need the new release? Well, it is helpful to me,
because pyudev is not at all part of my regular work, and I tend not to know
very much about how it is used these days.
