First of all, you'd be much better off asking this question on the pygame mailing list ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ). But ... > pygame.event.pump() > #necessary for os to pass joystick events You understand, you have to call pygame.event.pump() ONCE PER EVENT LOOP? The code you posted doesn't do that. "pump" doesn't start a separate thread or anything, it just polls the event queue and runs some pygame code to update state. You must repeatedly call it to check for events. Pygame tries to be very straightforward and explicit. There isn't much hidden "magic" going on (although movie and sound objects *do* process things in background threads).
