Python Mouse over image not working

I am trying to detect when a Sprite has been hovered over by the mouse. However it is not working, it is never detecting the mouse over.

Code for Tile:

#!/usr/bin/python
import pygame

class Tile(pygame.sprite.Sprite):

    def __init__(self, img_sprite, init_position):
        pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
        self.position=init_position
        self.image=pygame.image.load(img_sprite)
        self.rect = self.image.get_rect()

Code for event

for event in pygame.event.get():
    for tile in tiles:
        if tile.image.get_rect().collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos()):
            print 'tile hovered'

You are checking if your mouse is over the rect that is the image rect. Since the rect returned by image.get_rect() is always in the form (0,0,width,height), then your check only works if the position of your tile is at (0,0).

To fix this your can keep the position in the rect, or create a new rect that will describe the actual position.

You can also filter the events, and only check for a MOUSEMOTION event type.
