Mirrored piece moves when move is pushed to the board

[cupOfJava2014]

When a Move is created for a piece, for example, the white pawn on a2, the data in the Move appears to be correct. However, when the Move is pushed to the board the mirrored piece is moved instead (black pawn on a7 is moved instead).

if not spaceClicked == None:
                sx, sy = spaceClicked
                index = getIndex(sx, sy)
                print index
                move = []
                moves_str = []
                moves_index = []
                hspaces_old = highlight_spaces
                highlight_spaces = []

                index = getIndex(sx,sy)
                pc = spaces[index]

                highlight = False
                for sqr in range(64):
                    if chess.Move(index, sqr) in boardData.legal_moves:
                        move.append(chess.Move(index, sqr))
                if index in hspaces_old:
                    new_move = chess.Move(space_in_focus, index) # Have found this to be correct. The data given matches the chosen move
                    boardData.push(new_move) # Focus of issue
                for m in move:
                    moves_str.append(m.uci()[2:])
                    for mstr in moves_str:
                        #moves_index.append(chess.SQUARE_NAMES.index(mstr))
                        highlight_spaces.append(chess.SQUARE_NAMES.index(mstr))
                    space_in_focus = index

Hi. Can you please try

print(new_move)
print(boardData.fen())
boardData.push(new_move)
print(boardData.fen())

to get more info?

Aside: Note that if chess.Move(index, sqr) in boardData.legal_moves: will never exactly match promotions.

Here is the data output when moving the white pawn on a2 to a4:

Move to commit(new_move):  a2a4
Pre-push board data:  rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1
Post-push board data:  rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/P7/8/1PPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq - 0 1

Please note that this program is unfinished and piece promotions have not been implemented yet.

Sure, I just thought i should mention it.

The output looks as expected to me. A white pawn starts on a2. White pieces are uppercase in FENs. The first rank goes last.

So, what is the problem then?

Please excuse my slow reply to your comments. I am on vacation and am out of town a lot.

Maybe you're drawing the board mirrored or with inverted colors? You could also try print(boardData) to see in the console how it should look like.

Happy holidays!
