ecodes misses UInput Constants

My software now has errors such as the following:

<class 'AttributeError'>: module 'evdev.ecodes' has no attribute 'UI_FF_UPLOAD'

IE uinput constants are missing

python-evdev 1.9 got pushed to fedora and arch so I am currently rushing for a mitigation

I also get squiglies everywhere in VS Code now:

So, what am I to do with this?

latter part is dupe of #236

It's probably due to using an ancient kernel to build the wheels

Botch complete:

    try:
        # .ecodes misses UInput stuff, grab from runtime if it exists
        import evdev.ecodes_runtime as ecodes_runtime

        return cast(int, getattr(ecodes_runtime, b))
    except Exception:
        pass

    return cast(int, getattr(evdev.ecodes, b))

Hi, sorry, what do you mean with

latter part is dupe of #236

and

Botch complete:

?

I made a fix for my package. But currently evdev.ecodes is missing uinput attrs on arch, fedora, and the wheel

latter part is dupe of #236

Squiggles on VS code are due to the same issue as that one

latter part is dupe of #236

Squiggles on VS code are due to the same issue as that one

So you are getting something like

compatibility_device.py:4: error: Module "evdev" does not explicitly export attribute "InputDevice"  [attr-defined]

?

Didn't #236 fix that?

I did not test master. Hopefully it does (seems that it will). However, the issue is cosmetic and I can live with it for now.

The uinput issue caused a breakage and i had to push an emergency update

Ah ok.

I can confirm that UI_FF_UPLOAD is missing on my machine:

>>> from evdev.ecodes import UI_FF_UPLOAD
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'UI_FF_UPLOAD' from 'evdev.ecodes' (/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/evdev/ecodes.py)
>>> from evdev.ecodes import KEY_A
>>>

And it seems commit 61beda7 broke it.

Works on 3ff9816:

➜  python-evdev git:(3ff9816) ✗ python3 -c "from evdev.ecodes import UI_FF_UPLOAD"

Breaks after checking out to 61beda7:

No, it was 4ca0a8b, sorry, I accidentally imported the root-level evdev folder that didn't exist anymore from 61beda7, which made it work again.

Fixed in a98b68f. I'll make a release this weekend.

Release 1.9.1 is out. It should land in Fedora 41 stable in one week (bodhi link).
