Don't understand why my simple pygame script (draw rectangle) isn't working...

The code works if I don't define the event loops, but when I DO define events, the screen isn't even generated.
I initialized the pygame module before the loop.

while 1:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == QUIT:
                pygame.quit()


            pressed_mouse = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()
            if pressed_mouse[0]:
                newX, newY = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
                x = newX
                y = newY

                display.update()




screen = pygame.display.set_mode((w, h)) #make screen
pygame.draw.rect(screen, (0, 255, 0), (x, y, rectW, rectH), 1)



pygame.display.flip()

Because the program is stuck in an infinite loop and never creates the screen or rectangle.

Ok...I fixed it. Obviously I needed to place the draw.rect event inside the event loop and the screen draw event before it. :P
