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.
