Description
Hey there,
I am using void linux (non-musl). I am trying to build this
repo for use on my computer. However, it fails with an error about missing Python.h header for hidapi, which I did not see a package for. Is there any chance this can be added for me. It would be sweet to get some RGB with my void linux.
In addition, is there any way I can also help build packages for others that need help. I want to help void linux grow, but am unsure how. For now, I am just trying to make PR's for documentation.

Research direction
The issue requests a Void package for python3-hidapi or python3-hid, but names no package file or test. Start by reading Void's package-building documentation and inspecting existing Python package definitions; done means the requested dependency is packaged and builds on non-musl Void Linux.
