Tobias,
Here's my theory: I think that GroupSingle's spritedict dictionary is
growing by 1 sprite every time that the draw method is called. The
spritedict dictionary is not emptied by GroupSingle, so a reference to
each newly-created sprite remains even after a new sprite has been put
into GroupSingle. I'll have to test my theory before I'm certain
though. If that's the problem, then I'll fix it.

*Subject:* [pygame] BUG: Memoryleak in pygame.sprite.GroupSingle
Hello,
for me it seems that GroupSingle dosnt release references to the old
Sprite when a new Sprite is beeing assigned.
ive attached 2 Files.
pygame_memleak.py actually triggers the leak (Dont uncomment the sleep -
it will eat your memory instantly!).
In the second file pygame_memleak2.py i just changed GroupSingle to
Group and s.sprite = ... to s.empty(); s.add( ... ) to achieve the same
behaviour as GroupSingle - and this one works fine.
Im using:
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 16:22:56) [GCC 4.4.5] (64-Bit)
Pygame 1.9.1release
(The default Ubuntu 10.10 setup -but ive seen this on older Versions of
Python aswell)
