[pygame] not getting joystick events in 2.0



I upgraded to 2.0 recently and my joystick code no longer gets events with code that worked w/ 1.x.  All
other events are coming through OK (mouse, keyboard, window, etc).

I've spent the evening attempting to debug the issue and have come up empty.  Tried 2 different 
machines and many different joysticks, all the same behavior.  My joystick code does work as far 
iterating and printing out the name, etc.

The 2.0 joystick test code on the pygame site does work as I see button down and up messages
coming through.

Is there anything in moving to 2.0 I could be missing?

Here is my joystick init code, load_joysticks is called on startup, after setting up the screen:

def load_joysticks():

    global _joystick_present
    global _joystick_info

    pygame.joystick.init()

    msg = ''

    count = pygame.joystick.get_count()

    if count == 0:
        _joystick_present = False

        msg = 'WARNING: No joystick(s) found'

        _joystick_info = msg

    else:

        msg               = str( count ) + ' joystick(s)'
        _joystick_info    = msg
        _joystick_present = True

        for i in range( count ):

            joystick = pygame.joystick.Joystick( i )
            joystick.init()

            name = joystick.get_name().rstrip()
            msg  = ':' + name + ' - ' + str( joystick.get_numbuttons() ) + ' button(s)'

            _joystick_info += msg

My event queue code:

	e = None

	try:
		if _poll:
			e = pygame.event.poll()             ##  grab event now

		else:
			e = pygame.event.wait()             ##  wait for a GUI event rather than chewing the CPU

		... <snip> ...

		elif e.type is JOYBUTTONUP or e.type is JOYHATMOTION or e.type is JOYAXISMOTION:

            print 'main(): !!joystick event!!'		##  <---- I do not see this print at all when using a joystick w/ 2.0

			ret = handle_joystick( e )

I've also tried looping using

	for event in pygame.event.get():
		e = event

as in the example, still no events.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

thanks,
