You could try using PyUSB with libusb-win32. The latter has a GUI
"filter wizard" that I think *might* let you replace the default mouse
driver with a libusb-win32 device driver. This *might* let you use the
mouse exclusively with PyUSB. I'm sorry to have to hedge my statements
here, but I haven't tried this. At least it *might* point you in the
right direction.
