[Issue] Can't install uinput on OpenSuse Tumbleweed

[TobiPeterG]

Hello guys,

I've tried to install python-uinput manually and automatically via pip, but neither of these options worked; When execute sudo pip install python-uinput I receive the following error:

$ sudo pip install python-uinput

When trying to compile it manually, this error is shown with Python3:

With python 2:

Does anyone know how to fix that?

I'm running kernel 5.0.3.

Thanks in advance! Cheers!
