Enables or disables a device (given it's name or ID) through xinput. Made in Python 2.7

This program was made because of the lack for certain notebooks to disable touchpad through the built-in keyboard key. It's recommended to use this program as a keyboard shortcut.

Usage

usage: pymput.py [-h] [-d DEVICE] [-i] [-I ID] [-l] [--enable] [--disable]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DEVICE, --device DEVICE
                        Specify device name (default is "SynPS/2 Synaptics
                        TouchPad")
  -i, --interactive     Prints "xinput list" output and asks for ID.
  -I ID, --id ID        Specify device ID.
  -l, --list            Similar to -i, but only lists.
  --enable              Override default behavior by only enabling the device
  --disable             Override default behavior by only disabling the device
