SHM and Touchpad

[Sparky]

Hello! I am writing an application that requires access to the state
of a synaptics touch pad on a laptop running Ubuntu Linux (for the
number of fingers, pressure, x location, y location, etc). A different
program using C++ accesses the information through SHM and I was
hoping to do the same with Python. I looked in PyPi and I noticed that
there was a module for SHM but I can not figure out where to download
it from (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/shm). Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Sam
