http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/Surface.html#get_rect

Surface.get_rect(**kwargs) -> rect

Returns a new rectangle covering the entire surface. This rectangle
will always start at 0, 0 with a width. and height the same size as
the image.
       
You can pass keyword argument values to this function. These named
values will be applied to the attributes of the Rect before it is
returned. An example would be 'mysurf.get_rect(center=(100,100))' to
create a rectangle for the Surface centered at a given position.

....

But it DOES actually work in pygame 1.7. I accidentally used the wrong
python interpreter when testing it a while ago. *dumb*
