Hi Chris,
Thanks for joining in. The main thing that needs to happen for OSX support
is to figure out the GUID format, which is going to be made up from the OS
device ids, mixed around. It looks like the joystick devices on Mac should
have a "dump_info" method which will return all of the various hardware
ids. If you could initialize your joysticks and return the output of that
method, it should be a great help.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with using joysticks on pyglet, but it
should be just a matter of getting the joysticks, opening them, and calling
the method. Something like:
import pyglet
for joystick in pyglet.input.get_joysticks():
joystick.open()
joystick.device.dump_info()
# maybe joystick.dump_info() ?
Also, what kind of joysticks are they?
Thanks!
-Ben
