The function move CompleteMove events  that you use within your class probably doesn t contain a return statement  So nothing is returned to self values      None   Use return in move CompleteMove events  to return whatever you want to store in self values and it should work  Hope this helps

BrenBarn is correct  The error means you tried to do something like None 5   In the backtrace  it says self imageDef self values 2   which means that your self values is None   You should go through all the functions that update self values and make sure you account for all the corner cases

move CompleteMove   does not return a value  perhaps it just prints something   Any method that does not return a value returns None  and you have assigned None to self values   Here is an example of this    gt  gt  gt  def hello x          print x 2      gt  gt  gt  hello  world   worldworld  gt  gt  gt  y   hello  world   worldworld  gt  gt  gt  y  gt  gt  gt    You ll note y doesn t print anything  because its None  the only value that doesn t print anything on the interactive prompt
