DeviceDetector is a precise and fast user agent parser and device detector written in Python, backed by the largest and most up-to-date user agent database.
DeviceDetector will parse any user agent and detect the browser, operating system, device used (desktop, tablet, mobile, tv, cars, console, etc.), brand and model. DeviceDetector detects thousands of user agent strings, even from rare and obscure browsers and devices.
The DeviceDetector is optimized for speed of detection, by providing optimized code and in-memory caching.
This project originated as a Python port of the Universal Device Detection library. You can find the original code https://github.com/matomo-org/device-detector.
This port is not an exact copy of the original code; some Pythonic adaptations were used. However, it uses the original regex yaml files, to benefit from updates and pull request to both the original and the ported versions.
pip install device_detector
CSafeLoader is used if pyyaml is configured --with-libyaml.
The mrab regex module is preferred if installed.
