sudo apt-get install python3-pygameTouch events (FingerMotion, FingerDown, FingerUp, and MultiGesture)
have been added to pygame. Should work if you build it with SDL2.

Pygame has therefore little to say on its own over what devices are supported on the system level, since it doesn't do much more than bind SDL's event handling interfaces to make them usable in python. So unless you want to write the necessary code in C into SDL first, there seems to be a way that is known to work and let's use that.

Pygame 2 has been on its way for a while, though, and mentions adding of new APIs on this milestone [1]...
