I had a very brief look at udevevent.py (beware I'm not a python hacker)
It reads from the socket defined in xend.rules:
 unix.UnixDgramListener(UDEV_EVENT_PATH, UdevEventProtocol)
and then manually parses the events.

I would assume, the simplest way to address this is to use pyudev [1]
and rewrite the script to use pyudev.Monitor [2].

Hope that helps,
Michael
