Pygame Collision without Class

I'm a relatively new python developer, and I stumbled across a problem. I could not get the pygame.sprite.collide_rect() function to work, and I couldnt find any solutions on the web. here's my code:

import sys
import pygame

pygame.init()

gameDisplay = pygame.display.set_mode((600,600))

pygame.display.set_caption('Doge Adventures')

gameexit = False

white = (255,255,255)
black = (0,0,0)

move_x = 300
move_y = 300

def checkCollision(sprite1, sprite2):
    col = pygame.sprite.collide_rect(sprite1,sprite2)
    if col == True:
        sys.exit()

while not gameexit:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            gameexit = True
        if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
            move_x -= 15 
        elif event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
            move_x += 15
        elif event.key == pygame.K_UP:
            move_y -= 15
        elif event.key == pygame.K_DOWN:
            move_y += 15

gameDisplay.fill(white)

b1 = pygame.draw.rect(gameDisplay, black, [move_x, move_y, 40, 40])
b2 = pygame.draw.rect(gameDisplay, black, [450 , 450, 50, 50])

b1,b2

checkCollision(b1,b2)

pygame.QUIT()
quit()

and the error I get is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\DEREK\My Documents\LiClipse Workspace\Doge           Adventures\Game.py", line 45, in <module>
    checkCollision(b1,b2)
  File "C:\Users\DEREK\My Documents\LiClipse Workspace\Doge     Adventures\Game.py", line 19, in checkCollision
    col = pygame.sprite.collide_rect(sprite1,sprite2)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\pygame\sprite.py", line 1147, in     collide_rect
    return left.rect.colliderect(right.rect)
 AttributeError: 'pygame.Rect' object has no attribute 'rect'

Btw, I'm using python 2.7

The pygame.sprite.colliderect method is for checking collisions between sprites, not rectangles as you are using. Sprites are instances of the pygame.sprite.Sprite class. What you are trying to detect collisions between are rectangles, which have there own collision detection method: b1.colliderect(b2). Rectangles are not sprites and sprites are not rectangles.
