It is not really clear to me from your code where you expect the
character to jump. I do not see the word "jump" anywhere. I do
see the word "bounce" and one reference to the top of the image
so I will figure that is where you are working.
You have a .move method for your Player sprite:
def move(self, direction):
if direction: self.facing = direction
self.rect.move_ip(direction*self.speed, 0)
self.rect = self.rect.clamp(SCREENRECT)
if direction < 0:
self.image = self.images[0]
elif direction > 0:
self.image = self.images[1]
self.rect.top = self.origtop - (self.rect.left/self.bounce%2)
origtop is set to the original value of top when the sprite is
created, and bounce = 1 and never changes.
What are you hoping this code will do?
Just as an experiment (to test that changes to self.rect.top
will actually make the sprite move up) I changed
self.rect.top = self.origtop - (self.rect.left/self.bounce%2)
to
self.rect.top -= 1
You might want to look at that.
Help us to help you. Name something "jump" or put in some
comments about what you are expecting, and what is not
working.

The other thing I notice is that in the controls section...
#handle player input
direction = keystate[K_RIGHT] - keystate[K_LEFT]
player.move(direction)
You handle K_LEFT and K_RIGHT but there is nothing to handle any
"jump" event. How does the user cause the Player to jump?
