Python with Wiimote using pywiiuse module

Question

After watching the abilities and hacking wiimotes, I really want to use it in the final of "Intro to programming". Everyone should make a python program and present it to the class.

I want to make a game with pygame including wiimote. I found pywiiuse , which is a very simple wrapper for wiiuse using c types.

I can’t get anything but LEDs and vibrate to work. Buttons, IR, motion sensors, nothing. I tried different versions of wiiuse, pywiiuse, even python. I can’t even cite the examples that came with him to run. Here is the code I made as a simple test. I copied the sample code in C ++.

from pywiiuse import *
from time     import sleep

#Init
wiimotes = wiiuse_init()

#Find and start the wiimote
found    = wiiuse_find(wiimotes,1,5)

#Make the variable wiimote to the first wiimote init() found
wiimote  = wiimotes.contents

#Set Leds
wiiuse_set_leds(wiimote,WIIMOTE_LED_1)

#Rumble for 1 second
wiiuse_rumble(wiimote,1)
sleep(1)
wiiuse_rumble(wiimote,0)

#Turn motion sensing on(supposedly)
wiiuse_motion_sensing(wiimote,1)

while 1:
    #Poll the wiimotes to get the status like pitch or roll
    if(wiiuse_poll(wiimote,1)):
        print 'EVENT'

And here is the conclusion when I run it.

wiiuse version 0.9
wiiuse api version 8
[INFO] Found wiimote [assigned wiimote id 1].

Traceback (most recent call last):

    if(wiiuse_poll(wiimote,1)):
