Bug Description

Hi,

Pystromo (v0.60) worked in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS for a Saitek Pro-Gamer I had.

Since I updated to 10.04 LTS it stopped working (partially).

When starting it drops a few error lines (I assume simply problems with python version?).

/home/patinhas/.config/pystromo/lib/mapping.py:554: DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters
  tuple.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
/home/patinhas/.config/pystromo/lib/mapping.py:648: DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters
  tuple.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
/home/patinhas/.config/pystromo/lib/mapping.py:501: DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters
  tuple.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

However, the real problem is that it stopped recognizing both the joystick and shift (21) key, it just emits the regular (1-20) keys.

The shift key seems to never be recognized, however the joystick seems to be, but the results are different than they were previously:

Any hints?

I assumed it recognized 1-20, but it just recognizes 1-16, although 17-20 also generate input in /dev/input/js0 when pystromo is not running (pystromo seems to filter them).

You may be able find out why 17-20 and shift aren't being detected, and get them working, by following my recent comment in https://answers.launchpad.net/pystromo/+question/115191 .
Did those keys used to work in 8.04? That would be odd.

As to the joystick oddity, what are the mappings you're using?

You might want to try my branch (also posted in the answers thread mentioned above). It seems the kernel changed some of its key mappings; updating pystromo (and the map file) to recognize the new keys fixed the problem for me. I don't use the joystick, so I can't tell you what might be wrong there.
