hi
I am using pygame to get info from a gamepad (logitech dual action
usb). The script is really simple and it runs fine on my debian
desktop but it gets kind of blocked on my G3 500mhz iBook.
It prints some data with the intialisation values and no matter how
many buttons i press it doesnt change. However when i type in the
keyboard it does print the keyboard event, so the script is not
frozen, it just looks like it doesnt get anything from the gamepad.
Anyone has any idea why this could be happening?
This is the code, nothing fancy about it
thanks!

try: # joystick
pygame.joystick.init() # init main joystick device system
for n in range(pygame.joystick.get_count()): #
stick = pygame.joystick.Joystick(n)
stick.init() # init instance
# report joystick charateristics #
print '-'*20
print 'Enabled joystick: ' + stick.get_name()
print 'it has the following devices :'
print '--> buttons : '+ str(stick.get_numbuttons())
print '--> balls : '+ str(stick.get_numballs())
print '--> axes : '+ str(stick.get_numaxes())
print '--> hats : '+ str(stick.get_numhats())
print '-'*20
