The command pip install evdev fails on Travis-CI.

The workaround we currently use is pip install evdev==1.0.0

You need 4.4 or newer kernel headers.

python-evdev could add

#ifndef FF_MAX_EFFECTS
#define FF_MAX_EFFECTS	FF_GAIN
#endif

for backwards compatibility

Thanks for the catch!. Fixed in evdev 1.1.2.
