Yes. Write a python module in C using DirectInput, and use that module in your python program. I don't think there is another way, unless somebody already has done that and is offering their library up for free.

"Event echoer in Pygame."

        for i in range(0, pygame.joystick.get_count()):

                joysticks.append(pygame.joystick.Joystick(i))

                print "Detected joystick '",joysticks[-1].get_name(),"'"

        while 1:

                clock.tick(60)

                for event in pygame.event.get():

You'd probably want to use XInput http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh405053%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
