I did look at it -- a lot in fact. I got the ctypes function
declarations from there. But I decided that the project has way to many
dependencies for what I wanted, infact they have a nice little table:

They also have a too complicated object hierarchy for my taste: I just
need a thread that listens for events and updates a cache.
