How do I check if pressed on a text in pygame?

Question

How do I check if pressed on a text?

This is how I draw the text:

# Full code on https://github.com/Zwengel/bunny-badgers
height = pygame.display.Info().current_h
font = pygame.font.Font("freesansbold.ttf", 24)
spText = "Single Player"
sp = font.render(spText, True, (0,0,0))
spRect = sp.get_rect()
spRect.centerx = screen.get_rect().centerx
spRect.centery = height/12*5
screen.blit(sp, spRect)

You can use pygame.Rect.collidepoint() to get that the text was clicked on. The documentation on the function is here.

Here is an example of how you can use the function to your desired effect:

mpos = pygame.mouse.get_pos() # Get mouse position
if spRect.collidepoint(mpos): # Check if position is in the rect
    # Code for what you wish the click to do

This code will check if you clicked on the desired rect object, and execute whatever code your heart desires.

I hope this helps. (:
