No, I'm pretty sure SDL does not have any pressure support. Although I 
think that pressure sensitivity and multitouch may be planned for SDL 
1.3/2.0, (maybe somebody can correct me if I am mistaken on that)

I remember hearing a rumor that pygtk supports pressure sensitivity, but 
making pygame and pygtk work together might prove to be more trouble 
than it is worth.

Also, some quick googling turns up pymt, which might be helpful, but I 
haven't tried it myself.
