First I would add two 'debug' lines to the script

sys.stderr = sys.stdout
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n"

If anything is wrong then you will see it in the browser!

Then I also would add some more text so I could see if the print out
of the count() is wrong or if it's something else.

One thing I have noticed is that if I get an error/exception in the
script then I get somekind of default blank HTML-page.


#<snip the count() >

sys.stderr = sys.stdout
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n"

print "Hello World"
print `count()`


Hope this helps a bit
