This is forked from http://launchpad.net/~python-v4l2-devel. The original package is not updated for a long time. In this fork, I update the v4l2.py code to make it compatible to the latest videodev2.h header file.

A Python binding for the v4l2 (video4linux2) userspace api, using ctypes. Basic example usage::
>>> import v4l2
>>> import fcntl
>>> vd = open('/dev/video0', 'rw')
>>> cp = v4l2.v4l2_capability()
>>> fcntl.ioctl(vd, v4l2.VIDIOC_QUERYCAP, cp)
0
>>> cp.driver
'uvcvideo'
>>> cp.card
'USB 2.0 Camera'
See the linux/videodev2.h header file for details. Currently the
bindings are up to date with the 2.6.34 kernel headers.
