I apologise, this is what the code actually looks like:

Spikey ball class:

class Spikey_ball(games.Sprite):
     """A hazardous spikey ball that falls to the ground."""
     image = games.load_image("Spikey_ball.png")
     speed = 0.5

     def __init__(self, x, y = 90):
         """Initialise the spikey ball object."""
         super(Spikey_ball, self).__init__(image = Spikey_ball.image,
                                                        x = x, y = y,
                                                        dy = Spikey_ball.speed)

     def update(self):
             """Check if botton edge has reached the screen."""
             if self.bottom>  games.screen.height:
                    self.destroy()

      def handle_caught(self):
             """Destroy if caught and end game."""
             if self.bottom>  Pan.top:
                 Pizza.end_game()
                 self.destroy()

Sorry for the confusion and thanks in advance.                                  

Sometimes I see this type of symptom when somebody mixes tabs and spaces, a definite no-no. This message looks like you use pure spaces for indentation, which is the style I prefer. Anyway, handle_caught() is still indented one more column than update(), so it gets an IndentationError exception:

                           ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level


If you have any doubt, follow Alan's advice, to see just what the attributes of pizza are at that point.

Or add a print in top-level code to see what the attributes of Spikey_ball class are.


If all this is indeed a cut&paste error, and the indentation is correct, then I'd look to see what the type of the pizza is when it fails. Perhaps it's not really Spikey_Ball.
