Cool! It sounds to me as though Pygame (perhaps embedded in a wxPython
app) would be most appropriate. I know it has direct support for
joysticks, which I doubt the standard GUI frameworks generally have.
(Hmm... no, I'm wrong. At least wxPython does have Joystick support.
Check it out in the demo.)
