Re: [pygame] Never seen this before

You get that kind of error when you use a recursive function, and it recurses down further than Python has room on the stack for. Typically, when you get this error, there's something wrong with your recursive function. What it appears to be doing is within your add function, its calling itself again. I think you might be wanting to call super(C, self).add(spr) where C is the class you created which has the add method.

is causing this problem:





  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/sprite.py", line 325, in add
    self.add(spr)

  ####alot of the same message####

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/sprite.py", line 316, in add
    if isinstance(sprite, Sprite):
