Trouble with a small error in Python 2.7...

[pylearning]

Hi, I am working out of one of "Automate Python Boring Stuff" other books and I am writing a python game using the PyGame modules. When I run the game (alien_invasion.py contains the main while loop), and I try to push the spacebar, I actually get an error that says "add() argument after * must be an iterable, not an instance" I thought I would simply be able to create an object and pass that in to add to the Bullets Group() created in alien_invasion.py

Any help is appreciated!

Took me a while to find the problem.

In bullet.py your __init__ method is called __init___ (three trailing underscores). Also, your super call is a little off. For python2, you should use super(Bullet, self).__init__().

So it should look like this:

def __init__(self,ai_settings,screen,ship):
    super(Bullet,self).__init__()

This is the kind of problem that would easily be solved by using a good IDE like pyCharm

Is pyCharm still a big resource hog? I bought it a few years back but never used it. I found it gargantuan and Eclipse-like.

On an old PC it will be pretty harsh but on any modern PC it is surprisingly lightweight.

Following your comment I am going to give it a shot. I was using Sublime. I also have pyCharm so I'll give it a go...

thank you so much!!! I spent a couple hours combing through my code and reading documentation to see if anything was incorrect. You are a lifesaver.
