[PyGame] AttributeError while switching between Sprite Animations

[paulmills3]

Getting an AttributeError(AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'get_rect') after I added code to switch Sprite Animations when arrow keys are clicked.
Wondering what I need to change?
Below is my Sprite1 Class and the relevant code from the main file.
(PyGame)

Sprite1 Class:

import pygame class Sprite1(pygame.sprite.Sprite):   def __init__(self):       super().__init__()     self.faceUp = True     self.faceDown = False     self.faceLeft = False     self.faceRight = False     self.image = pygame.image.load('player.png').convert_alpha     self.rect = self.image.get_rect()       def facing(self):     if self.faceUp == True:       self.image = pygame.image.load('player.png').convert_alpha       self.rect = self.image.get_rect()     elif self.faceDown == True:       self.image = pygame.image.load('playerDown.png').convert_alpha       self.rect = self.image.get_rect()     elif self.faceLeft == True:       self.image = pygame.image.load('playerLeft.png').convert_alpha       self.rect = self.image.get_rect()     elif self.faceRight == True:       self.image = pygame.image.load('playerRight.png').convert_alpha       self.rect = self.image.get_rect()

The problem is in the line ...

1	self.image = pygame.image.load('player.png').convert_alpha

It's missing a set of parentheses in order to actually call the method. Try this:

1	self.image = pygame.image.load('player.png').convert_alpha ()

What you've got so far has been fixed, and it now works as anticipated. You can shoot each other, but that's all there is to it. However, it appears to be a solid start.

WIDTH, HEIGHT = 900, 500
WIN = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))
pygame.display.set_caption('First Game!')

WHITE = (255, 255, 255)
BLACK = (0, 0, 0)
RED = (255, 0, 0)
YELLOW = (255, 255, 0)
BORDER = pygame.Rect(WIDTH//2 - 5, 0, 10, HEIGHT)
SPACESHIP_WIDTH, SPACESHIP_HEIGHT = 55, 44
