'''
Python mtdev
============

The mtdev module provides Python bindings to the `Kernel multi-touch
transformation library <https://launchpad.net/mtdev>`_, also known as mtdev
(MIT license).

The mtdev library transforms all variants of kernel MT events to the
slotted type B protocol. The events put into mtdev may be from any MT
device, specifically type A without contact tracking, type A with
contact tracking, or type B with contact tracking. See the kernel
documentation for further details.

.. warning::

    This is an external library and Kivy does not provide any support for it.
    It might change in the future and we advise you don't rely on it in your
    code.
