python-uinput

installation problem, no ev.py?

Asked by Gustav Johansson

Hi!
Im trying to install python-uinput on a raspberry pi using raspbian through the source code.
Typing the "python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local" gives me an error: "couldn't find src/ev.py no such file..." I have installed libudev-dev and I don't know what to do next. What could I do?
Thank you!

Hi

which version of python-uinput are you trying to install? Where did you get the source?

I just double checked that the installation works with the latest version, 0.9, by getting the tarball from launchpad: https://launchpad.net/python-uinput/trunk/0.9/+download/python-uinput-0.9.tar.gz

unpacked it and executed sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

and didn't encounter the problem you are describing.

It worked now and the only difference I made was using cd before. I tried for hours but now it works! Thank you very much for your fast response!
