Re: [pygame] Wii Remote support -- first patch

I haven't dug around very much inside the code, so I don't know how it looks in there, but it seems like the pygame.event.pump code is already doing periodic input work, Are you assuming that the user calls pump, or does pygame have some internal thread that consistently calls pump? or does p
