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.)
