Re: [pygame] No data from joystick

["Jason M. Marshall" <jmm0@xxxxxxxxx>]

Neil,

Joystick motion is an event. In the docs is a script
named eventlist.py. It prints events on the screen as
they occur. If your joystick's movements are reported
by eventlist.py, then there's not a problem.

Link to docs for Windows:
http://www.pygame.org/ftp/pygame-1.8-docs-setup.exe

This is Pete Shinners' explanation:
http://www.pygame.org/ftp/contrib/input.html
