Re: [pygame] RenderUpdate changes in pygame 1.7?

[Rene Dudfield <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

yeah there were sprite changes between 1.6 and 1.7.  They were
rewritten in fact.

However they were supposed to be backwards compatible(I think).

I just tried it 1.7.1 with the aliens.py example, and it iterated ok
over the group.  I added to line 305:

        for sp in all:
            print sp


Can you please test again that it is a RenderUpdates group and not
something else?  You are not subclassing RenderUpdates are you?


Cheer.
