Debug

Known issues

breakingRequires Python >=3.12. Does not work on Python 3.11 or earlier.

fix

Upgrade Python to 3.12+.

affects: <1.0.0

gotchaOnly works on Linux due to dependency on pyudev (udev). No Windows/macOS support.

fix

Use alternative libraries for cross-platform USB monitoring.

affects: all

gotchaThe async generator yields USBDeviceEvent objects, not simple strings. You must access attributes like .vendor_id and .product_id.

fix

Check the USBDeviceEvent class docs for available fields.
