Why is pygame.Surface.blit not displaying anything?

I have sone code to represent collision tests within python, using pygame Surfaces to represent what they look like:

import abc
import pygame
class Geometry(abc.ABC):
    def __init__(self, centre: tuple[int,int]):
        self.centre=centre
    @abc.abstractmethod
    def Draw(self, colour: tuple[int,int,int,int]) -> pygame.Surface:
        pass
class Line(Geometry):
    def __init__(self, start: tuple[int,int], end: tuple[int,int]):
        self.__start = start
        self.__end = end
        super().__init__(((start[0]+end[0])/2,(start[1]+end[1])/2))
    def Draw(self, colour: tuple[int,int,int,int]) -> pygame.Surface:
        sur = pygame.Surface((abs(end[0]-start[0]) or 3, abs(end[1]-start[1]) or 3), pygame.SRCALPHA)
        sur.fill(colour)
        return sur


pygame.init()
my_shape = Line((300, 300), (500, 300))
pos = tuple(my_shape.centre)
display = pygame.display.set_mode((600, 600), pygame.SRCALPHA)
while True:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            quit()

    display.fill((0, 0, 0))
    display.blit(my_shape.Draw((0, 0, 255, 0)), pos)
    pygame.display.flip()

However when runnning this code, I get a blank pygame window.

When I fill display, it works. But blitting the drawn shape onto the display does not.

Any problems with this code?

The alpha channel of the color is 0, so the pygame.Surface is completely transparent. [blit(https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/surface.html#pygame.Surface.blit) blends the source Surface with the target Surface. Change the alpha channel:

display.blit(my_shape.Draw((0, 0, 255, 0)), pos)

display.blit(my_shape.Draw((0, 0, 255, 255)), pos)
