Bug Description

Currently you can do this:

>>> from autopilot.input import Keyboard
>>> kbd = Keyboard.create("UInput")
>>> type(kbd)
autopilot.input._X11.Keyboard

So here autopilot has silently decided that it cannot give us the backend variant we asked for, and has decided that giving us anything is better than raising an exception.

However, I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Certainly creating a keyboard with:

kbd = Keyboard.create()

should return any keyboard. But if we ask for a specific type, we should either get that type, or fail.

This bug was fixed in the package autopilot - 1.3daily13.06.05-0ubuntu2

---------------
autopilot (1.3daily13.06.05-0ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low

  * autopilot-touch only suggests python-ubuntu-platform-api for now.
    It's not in distro and we need that requirement to be fulfilled to
    have unity 7, 100 scopes and the touch stack to distro.
