no,

class character(pygame.sprite.Sprite):

   def __init__(self, img):
       pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
      
       self.anim = animstrip(img)
       self.frame_index = 0
       self.image = self.anim[0]
       .....

   def update(self):
       self.image = self.anim[self.frame_index]
       if self.image.get_alpha():
           print "ALPHA"
       .....


....

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((320, 200))

bg, bg_rect = load_image('bg.jpg')
screen.blit(bg, (0, 0))
pygame.display.flip()

charact = character('image.png')
...
allsprites = pygame.sprite.RenderPlain((charact, ...))
while 1:
   .....  
  
   allsprites.update()
   #Draw Everything
   screen.blit(bg, (0, 0))
   allsprites.draw(screen)
   pygame.display.flip()



in the console this prints "ALPHA"
