How do you create rect variables in pygame without drawing them?

What I want to do is assign a rect to a variable without drawing it on the screen. I was wondering how to do this. Here's my current code to assign a 20x20 white rectangle to "myRect":

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((50, 50))

while True:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            quit()
    myRect  = pygame.draw.rect(screen, (255, 255, 255), (0, 0, 20, 20))

You use Pygame.Rect:

myRect = pygame.Rect(20,20,100,200)    # 20 left, 20 top, 100 width, 200 height

See: https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/rect.html

pygame.Rect
pygame object for storing rectangular coordinates
Rect(left, top, width, height) -> Rect
Rect((left, top), (width, height)) -> Rect
Rect(object) -> Rect

If you want to put a color on it as well, you could extend the Rect class.
