I think you want a loop. Also be sure you're looking at the right axis. How
many do you have? Do the others work?
Here's a minimal fix to try, check what it prints for numaxes and try
varying get_axis() and let us know.
import pygame
pygame.joystick.init()
pygame.display.init()
myjoy = pygame.joystick.Joystick(pygame.joystick.get_count()-1)
myjoy.init()
print "numaxes:", myjoy.get_numaxes()
while True:
pygame.event.pump()
print myjoy.get_axis(2) #axis 2 is the throttle
