[pygame] BUG: Memoryleak in pygame.sprite.GroupSingle

[Tobias Steinrücken]

Hello,

for me it seems that GroupSingle dosnt release references to the old
Sprite when a new Sprite is beeing assigned.

ive attached 2 Files.
pygame_memleak.py actually triggers the leak (Dont uncomment the sleep -
it will eat your memory instantly!).
In the second file pygame_memleak2.py i just changed GroupSingle to
Group and s.sprite = ... to s.empty(); s.add( ... ) to achieve the same
behaviour as GroupSingle - and this one works fine.


Im using: 
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 16:22:56) [GCC 4.4.5] (64-Bit)
Pygame 1.9.1release
(The default Ubuntu 10.10 setup -but ive seen this on older Versions of
Python aswell)
