system76-daemon crashed with ImportError in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/system76driver/daemon.py: No module named 'evdev'

[Ben Klein]

I have been having some other Python problems, and I had to reinstall pip.

I have the python3-evdev and python-evdev packages installed too, so I'm not sure why it's not finding the import.

Hey, could you try running:
```
sudo apt install --reinstall python3-evdev
```

[Ben Klein (robobenklein)]

Yes, reinstalling that appears to have fixed the issue.
Perhaps pip moved the evdev package somewhere else when it reinstalled?
Either way, I doubt this is a bug any more.
