How to get mouse inputs from raw data?

Question

Hello I am trying to develop a Linux game in Panda3D which uses python for coding so anything in python would work. The game requires two mouse inputs (movement and mouse clicks). I want to get the info from the files in /dev/input but a more convenient way would help.

I've already got code to get the input file I want (/dev/input/event13 and /dev/input/event14) that works great. I've tried a lot of things but have only been able to get left click right click and a broken middle click which also triggers right click. Thanks!

The code for the thing that can get the input file is this:

import evdev
def dev1():
    devices = [evdev.InputDevice(path) for path in evdev.list_devices()]
    for device in devices:
        print(device.path, device.name)
    try:
        device1 = float(input('Type number of Mouse1. Not a number to update. '))
    except ValueError:
        dev1()
def dev2():
    devices = [evdev.InputDevice(path) for path in evdev.list_devices()]
    for device in devices:
        print(device.path, device.name)
    try:
        device2 = float(input('Type number of Mouse2. Not a number to update. '))
    except ValueError:
        dev2()
dev1()
dev2()

The pynput module has a callback-based interface that let's you monitor mouse events such as movement and and clicks.
