[pygame] Making a clock rotate

[dialtone <dialtone@aruba.it>]

Hi all, I'm trying to make a clock with pygame and python2.2 but I have a
problem in rotating the pointer.
The image is the pointer, and quadrante is the clock. The code below is
just supposed to rotate of 6 degrees CW the pointer but I don't manage
to...
I've also tried without the class using a main() and an update() functions
to create and manage the clock, but either way it doesn't work...
where am I mistaken?

class orologio:
   def __init__(self):
       self.quadrante = pygame.display.set_mode((256,256))
       self.image = pygame.image.load('~/Documents/lancetta.jpg')
       self.image = self.image.convert()
       self.axis = (128,128)
       self.quadrante.blit(self.image, [126,0])
       pygame.display.flip()
       self.second_degree = -6
       self.quadrante = rotate_with_axis(self.quadrante, 
self.second_degree, \
                               self.axis)
       self.quadrante.blit(self.quadrante, self.quadrante.get_rect())
       pygame.display.flip()

def rotate_with_axis(surf,angle,axis):
   """rotates image by angle degrees CCW, and returns a surface the
   same size as the input image.

   new pixels may be visible in the result that weren't in the
   original image. see
   http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame_transform.html#rotate for
   the rules about those"""

   # make a bigger surface padded such that the axis point is in the center
   paddedsize=[max(anaxis,asize-anaxis)*2 for anaxis,asize in \
                               zip(axis,surf.get_size())]
   padded=pygame.Surface(paddedsize,0,surf)
   padded.blit(surf,[ps//2-a for ps,a in zip(paddedsize,axis)])
   # rotate the big image
   rotated=pygame.transform.rotate(padded,angle)
   # cut out the appropriate piece of the larger rotated image
   newtopcorner=[rs//2-a for rs,a in zip(rotated.get_size(),axis)]
   return 
rotated.subsurface(pygame.Rect(newtopcorner+list(surf.get_size())))

if __name__=='__main__':
   pygame.init()
   clock = orologio()
   time.sleep(10)
