src/ev.py will be created when the package is built by running: python setup.py build.

The reason for generating src/ev.py rather than distributing it as a static file is that the contents of src/ev.py corresponds to the contents of /usr/include/linux/input.h. This can vary from kernel version to kernel version, and hence from system to system. Distributing one static file which would match all systems is impossible, generating it at the build time gives almost perfect match.
