I think that 2.7 is fine. The legacy code in pyglet (>2.6) likely exists because it was written a long time ago, and not likely because it written to be compatible with old python. Python 2.6 is nearly 8 years old now and isn't required except on odd linux (redhat, etc).
I've considered exactly what you are proposing, using SDL2 for input, but I think that you will have a lot more work to do. AFAIK, you will need to use all of SDL2 (windowing, events, etc). Pyglet interfaces at the OS level (with ctypes), so you *may* have to re-implement more than just the joystick API. Something to think about anyway.
