Connecting a Krom (xbox 360-style controller) controller mid-game crashes pygame.

Hi, I'm developing a game where I want to use a controller. Actually using the controller works fine, however, connecting the controller via USB while the game is running crashes the game with the error below. Disconnecting during gameplay doesn't cause any crash. Connecting with USB prior to running the game works fine, and the controller can be used as intended. Error:

KeyError: 0

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\willi\Desktop\Code\Games\happy_ville\game.py", line 78, in
g.run()
File "C:\Users\willi\Desktop\Code\Games\happy_ville\game.py", line 55, in run
self.event_loop()
File "C:\Users\willi\Desktop\Code\Games\happy_ville\game.py", line 34, in event_loop
events = pygame.event.get()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SystemError: returned a result with an exception set

Try updating your pygame-ce version to the latest release and let us know if it’s still a problem
