I would like to use the Logitech F710 gamepad as an input device to a python program. I am using Ubuntu. I do not really know where to start, so here are a few questions:

  1. How does Ubuntu detect the gamepad?
  2. If the gamepad is recognized within Ubuntu, how would I interact with this device via a python script?
  3. If this is not easy to do in Ubuntu, how would I interact with the gamepad via a python script in Windows?

Thanks!
