I have posted some code here that gets it started, however it doesn't seem
to perfectly work with my OS X machine.  Perhaps send me an e-mail and I can
forward that code.  It would actually be terrific trouble shooting for me,
as if it works on your machine (I am assuming x86 based) then I'll be better
able to debug if it my OS X drivers or my code.

The alien.py example unfortunately only uses keyboard (K_LEFT K_RIGHT and
SPACE) is its input options.  I would also be greatly interested in more
code examples.  I have been struggling to get an event poll to interact with
a joystick as well and would love to get more information as well.
