thanks
pygame: is there a way to get input from xbox controller?
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."
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
def main():
"Opens a window and prints events to the terminal. Closes on ESC or QUIT."
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))
pygame.display.set_caption("JOYTEST")
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
joysticks = []
for i in range(0, pygame.joystick.get_count()):
joysticks.append(pygame.joystick.Joystick(i))
joysticks[-1].init()
print "Detected joystick '",joysticks[-1].get_name(),"'"
while 1:
clock.tick(60)
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == QUIT:
print "Received event 'Quit', exiting."
return
elif event.type == KEYDOWN and event.key == K_ESCAPE:
print "Escape key pressed, exiting."
return
elif event.type == KEYDOWN:
print "Keydown,",event.key
elif event.type == KEYUP:
print "Keyup,",event.key
elif event.type == MOUSEMOTION:

print "Mouse button",event.button,"down at",pygame.mouse.get_pos()

print "Mouse button",event.button,"up at",pygame.mouse.get_pos()

print "Joystick '",joysticks[event.joy].get_name(),"' axis",event.axis,"motion."
if event.axis == 4:
print ' axis 4', event.value
elif event.axis == 3:
print ' axis 3', event.value
elif event.type == JOYBUTTONDOWN:
print ("Joystick '",joysticks[event.joy].get_name(),
"' button",event.button,"down.")
elif event.type == JOYBUTTONUP:
print "Joystick '",joysticks[event.joy].get_name(),"' button",event.button,"up."
elif event.type == JOYHATMOTION:
print "Joystick '",joysticks[event.joy].get_name(),"' hat",event.hat," moved."
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
You'd probably want to use XInput http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh405053%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
