EnhancedSprite has a rect that is assigned in the __init__() method.

    def __init__(self, image, group = None, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        self.image = image
        self.rect = image.get_rect()  # <- This is the rectangle for the image
        if group is not None:
            group.add(self)

To clamp paddle movement so the entire paddle is always on screen.

    def __init__(self,bottom):
        super().__init__(create_image(PADDLE_IMAGE, PADDLE_COLOR), self.group)
        self.bottom = bottom
        self.xmin = self.rect.width // 2    # set paddle x range.
        self.xmax = SCREEN_WIDTH - self.xmin

    def move(self, x):
        """Move to follow the cursor.  Clamp to window bounds"""
        self.centerx = max(self.xmin, min(self.xmax, x))

I started out doing this and didn't like how it played. I wish the paddle could go even further off the edge of the screen, but it can't since it follows the cursor.
