[pygame] Collision Issues



I've been messing around with a sample from the L Line's book on game programming, and I've tried to further develop their space.py example that demonstrates a ship without friction.  I've tried my hardest to properly enter collision detection on a set of 40,40 rects that are placed throughout the 800,600 screen, but it is proving to be a bit harder than first imagined.  The issues that I am noticing is that sometimes the sprite will catch the collisions, sometimes they won't.  Another is the rotate() method.  If I rotated, the sprite's rect will expand and throw off the collision detection as well, sending the sprite all throughout the screen and eventually off into the great unknown.  May I ask for assistance in pointing me to what I am doing wrong with this?  I would greatly appreciate any help provided!  Thank you very very much!
