Newest release of python-evdev breaks the deamon - no more python2 compatibility

[JacekJagosz]

Release 1.6.0 of python-evdev includes this commit: gvalkov/python-evdev@b5f69fb that removes python2 compatibility.
This means the daemon will fail to launch:

scc-daemon debug
D SCCDaemon     Starting SCCDaemon...
D SCCDaemon     Initializing drivers...
Traceback (most recent call last):
