This sounds like a bad idea. Instead, you should write a python
extension using the Python C API that uses libblkid directly (unless you
plan to support other implementations than CPython).

'udev' output format is deprecated and will be removed in a future
version of util-linux. Starting to support it now is a clear waste of time.
> 2. In udev format output for all devices, there is no devname displayed. Without devname, its unclear grouping. Is there a plan to add devname in udev format output?
For above reasons, unlikely.
