These lines are the problem - you're setting oldRect and newRect to
the Rectangle class, when you want them to be instances of the class.
To create new Rectangles, use

oldRect = awt.Rectangle()
or even
oldRect = awt.Rectangle(x, y, width, height)

(This is equivalent to the Java code
Rectangle oldRect = new Rectangle(x, y, width, height);
.)

To be able to set awt.Rectangle.x to a value (for the class, not an
instance), awt.Rectangle.x would have to be a static member.

Hope that helps!
