Hi,

I have finally been able to get back to working on this.  I played with the
eventlist.py example with little luck in polling the joystick events.

I am presently polling the event queue using the following code:

    while not done:
        pygame.event.pump()
        #events = pygame.event.get()
        for e in pygame.event.get:
            if e.type in (KEYDOWN, KEYUP, QUIT):
                print 'leaving'
                sys.exit()
                done = True
            elif e.type in (JOYBUTTONDOWN,JOYBUTTONUP):
                print "a joystick button has been hit"

And having no luck getting gamepad events.  Printing out the entire event
cue will give me mouse motion events, keypresses, mouse button states etc.
However, I'm having no luck getting any input from the Logitech Gamepad.

I have pasted my full code example below, and I'm hoping that I'm doing
something trivially wrong.

Initializing the joystick returns the proper name and properties of the
joystick, so I assume that it is being properly recognized from within
pygame.

I am using Mac OS X (10.3.9) with the USB overdrive drivers for the Gamepad.

I appreciate any assistance anyone can lend me.  Thanks.
