py-evdevBindings to the Linux input handling subsystem
1.9.1_2develΣ=9 1.9.1_1Version of this port present on the latest quarterly branch.upstream: 2.0.0A newer version was found upstream by portscout, first on 2026-08-24.
This package provides bindings to the generic input event interface in
Linux. The evdev interface serves the purpose of passing events
generated in the kernel directly to userspace through character
devices that are typically located in /dev/input/.
This package also comes with bindings to uinput, the userspace input
subsystem. Uinput allows userspace programs to create and handle input
devices that can inject events directly into the input subsystem.
NOTE: If this package has multiple flavors (see below), then use one of them instead of the name specified above. NOTE: This is a Python port. Instead of py312-evdev listed in the above command, you can pick from the names under the Packages section.
devel/py-evdev: Use the evdev headers from base
evdev 1.9 expects the UI_FF_* constants from uinput.h, but the port
generated its ecodes module only from devel/evdev-proto's
linux/input.h and linux/input-event-codes.h, so "import evdev" fails
with KeyError: 'UI_FF'.
files/patch-v4l_compat, added with the port in 2015 when base had no
dev/evdev headers, removes upstream's #ifdef __FreeBSD__ branches for
<dev/evdev/...> and makes the port build against evdev-proto instead.
Base now installs dev/evdev/input.h, input-event-codes.h and uinput.h,
which evdev's setup.py uses on FreeBSD by default, and build_ext
generates the ecodes module itself. Drop the patch, the evdev-proto
dependency, USES=localbase and the build_ecodes, --evdev-headers and
--include-dirs arguments, and bump PORTREVISION.
The 14.5 and 15.1 base headers define FF_MAX_EFFECTS; older ones
(13.5, 14.2, 14.3, 14.4 and 15.0) lack it, and evdev falls back for it.
While here, add concurrent to USE_PYTHON and fix portlint warnings.

python: bump all USE_PYTHON=distutils consumers after RUN_DEPENDS removal
Any missed ports, feel free to bump.
Any ports that need setuptools at runtime can have the devel/py-setuptools
manually added back to RUN_DEPENDS, but understand that this practice
is deprecated; see CHANGES for details.
all: remove explicit versions in USES=python for "3.x+"
The logic in USES=python will automatically convert this to 3.8+ by
itself.
Adjust two ports that only had Python 3.7 mentioned but build fine
on Python 3.8 too.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Split out evdev headers from multimedia/v4l_compat
Split out evdev headers (input.h, input-event-codes.h, uinput.h) into their
own port, devel/evdev-proto, and update those to be current with the Linux
4.19 kernel. This is done in order to be able to update the rest of the
FreeBSD input stack, which is forthcoming.
By splititng out the evdev headers we can update them independent of other
updates in v4l_compat, which makes it easier for the graphics team to keep
track of them and keep them updated as needed.
Update devel/libevdev from 1.4.4 to 1.5.9 instead of trying to make it work
with the updated headers. This will be further updated.

Switch all pypi.python.org WWWs to a new PyPi home pypi.org where
