A single device with attached attributes and properties.
This class subclasses the ``Mapping`` ABC, providing a read-only
dictionary mapping property names to the corresponding values.
Therefore all well-known dicitionary methods and operators
(e.g. ``.keys()``, ``.items()``, ``in``) are available to access device
properties.
Aside of the properties, a device also has a set of udev-specific
attributes like the path inside ``sysfs``.
:class:`Device` objects compare equal and unequal to other devices and
to strings (based on :attr:`device_path`). However, there is no
ordering on :class:`Device` objects, and the corresponding operators
``>``, ``<``, ``<=`` and ``>=`` raise :exc:`~exceptions.TypeError`.
.. warning::
Do **never** use object identity (``is`` operator) to compare
:class:`Device` objects. :mod:`pyudev` may create multiple
:class:`Device` objects for the same device. Instead simply compare
devices by value using ``==`` or ``!=``.
:class:`Device` objects are hashable and can therefore be used as keys
in dictionaries and sets.
They can also be given directly as ``udev_device *`` to functions wrapped
through :mod:`ctypes`.
