def draw(self):
screen.blit(self.shipTexture, (self.position))

oops nevermind figured it out on my own... the draw method was part of a class... so i jsut had to put

ship.draw(playerShip)

rather than

draw(playerShip)

also note that a variable of that class you created can call your function:
python

>>> class foo(object):
...    def __init__(self, value):
...        self.value = value
...    def __repr__(self):
...        return self.value
...    def cube(self):
...        return self.value ** 3
>>> x = foo(8)
>>> x.cube()  ## equivalent to : x = foo.cube(x)
>>> x
512


;-) I just wanted to make sure you knew that, as it's really bad syntax to pass a value to self explicitly (this is one of them cases where explicit isn't best)
