Oh, there is.  You can watch for the WM_DEVICECHANGE message, which
fires every time there is a plug-and-play event.  Once you get that
message, you can go enumerate the devices in your device class using the
SetupDi APIs to see if you are present.

Now, how does all that map to Python?  With difficulty, I imagine.
