Pyglet + Joystick
I've written a pygletified Joystick class. I'm not sure I'm using dispatch_events correctly, but it seems to work. With some more work it could support OSX and Win32.

Is there a reason you throw away the device variable in Joystick's __init__?
It looks like the device is hard-coded now in init for testing - probably just forgot to change. I would suggest (or request) making the device number a keyword argument defaulting to 0.
Can we get rumble? SDL has been lacking it for years
I would need to get hold a Joystick with force feedback first. Also, I would not write any code unless there is a standard interface for working with all JS models.
Very cool, thanks! Oh, and if anyone ever does get rumble feedback going, I'd be very interested in getting my hands on it for my research: http://memetic.ca

Handy joystick routine to get me up and running quick! Worked out of the box with an old junky usb joystick I have analog and all. I know folks have mentioned it about the device number, so I just added it in with a try except block:
try:
self.dev = open(device)
except:
print "Error opening %s" % device
sys.exit(0)
