Comment 1 for bug 1038731

Hi and thanks for your interest towards python-uinput.

The problem you described is due to unmet dependency on libudev development files (libudev.h namely). This dependency is documented in README of source distribution package. In many systems, a package called libudev-dev provides all necessary files.

However, if you are using Debian or Ubuntu, I suggest you to install python-uinput from the package archive I'm hosting at Launchpad. See http://tjjr.fi/sw/python-uinput/ for installation instructions in this case. But if you want to build python-uinput from the source, you must first install libudev-dev.
