Comment(by manuq):

 Part I, reloaded:

 {{{
 def _is_olpcm_model():
     """Check via setxkbmap if the keyboard model is olpcm.

     Keyboard model code is 'olpcm' for non-membrane, mechanical
     keyboard, and 'olpc' for membrane keyboard.

     """
     code = None
     p = subprocess.Popen(["setxkbmap", "-query"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
     out, err = p.communicate()
     for line in out.splitlines():
         if line.startswith('model:'):
             code = line.split()[1]
     return code == 'olpcm'
 }}}

 Part II on the way.
