I'm pretty confident it returns the instances, not the class itself, unless
the new PyGame has changed things... Here's some old code from one of my old
projects to show you:
hit_cells = pygame.sprite.spritecollide(shuriken,
self.cancer_sprites, False)
if hit_cells:
for e in hit_cells:
e.hit('shuriken')
if e.health <= 0:
self.kills += 1
e.destroy()
self.cancer_sprites.remove(e)
The last line shows that it's a reference, otherwise it wouldn't ever be
able to remove the right one.
