That would be extremely complicated compared to what you actually need
to do -- you only need the rects, so only create the rects.

The following code will create one rect for each square in a grid.
perhaps you can use it as a base.


import pygame
# you can adjust the following parameters to change the size of the grid
# and the size of each square
numsquares_x = 7
numsquares_y = 6
square_width = 32
square_height = 32
squares = []

for x in range (0, numsquares_x):
  for y in range (0, numsquares_y):
    thissq = pygame.rect (x * square_width, y * square_height,(x+1) *
square_width, (y+1) * square_height)
    squares.append (thissq)
