Maximum recursion depth exceeded when creating subclass of pygame.sprite.Sprite

Question

I am trying to instanciate a object i created witch is a subclass of pygame.sprite.Sprite. This is the code i use to instanciate it:

    import pygame as pg
    from GameObject import GameObject    

    player = GameObject("Sprites/Player", 6)

And this is the code for the object itself:

import pygame as pg
class GameObject(pg.sprite.Sprite):
    def __ini__(self, image_path, number_of_images):
        for i in range(number_of_images):
            self.images.append(pg.image.load("{}/sprite{}.png".format(image_path, i)))

When i try to run it i get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 11, in <module>
    player = GameObject("Sprites/Player", 6)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pygame/sprite.py", line 124, in __init__

    self.add(*group)

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

I have looked at sever example codes for creating a subclass of this class but i do not see the difference between my code and others. What am i missing out on?

I had the same problem, it's caused by the typo in the __init__ (you wrote __ini__ ) function (it happened to me when i wrote _init_ instead of __init__ ). Fixing the typo makes it work
