I'm definitively interested and will look at it in a week or so.
Thanks for your work and do keep us posted.

What sort of port? If it can be a USB joystick then you could knock
something up with pygame (wraps SDL). It's really easy, just remember
to call the event.pump function if polling joystick directly w/o event
loop. You also get mouse and key access. Here's a little test script
you can run.

pyatspi lets you easily generate synthetic key and mouse events as
well as controlling apps via AT/SPI a11y API.
