USBLock

USBlock is a Python script that will lock and unlock your linux box using any
old USB storage device as a key.
** NOTE **
V0.1 only works on Linux. OS X and Windows will have to wait a little.
Installation
============
Install with `pip install usblock` or run `sudo python ./setup.py install`
from the directory you downloaded USBLock into.
See `requirements.txt` for a list of required Python modules.
Non Python dependencies
=======================
Linux
-----
You will need `dbus` and `python-dbus` as well as `hal`. These should all be
available via your package manager. See below why `python-dbus` is listed here.
Known Issues
============
* I've had some devices not mount on external USB ports (like on a Mac keyboard
or hub). DBus does not register the device insertion and so USBLock cannot
lock or unlock your machine. Try a different memory stick or USB port.
* On linux you need dbus installed. `pip install dbus-python` doesn't work, so
you may have to install it via your system's package manager or from source.
Thanks for the patches
