Is count supposed to still work?

You wouldn't perhaps be making this mistake I occasionally make, would you?

  import foo
  x = bar()  # forgetting to say foo.bar()

>From what I can see, count works:

  $ python
  Python 2.2.1 (#1, Jun 25 2002, 10:55:46)
  [GCC 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)] on cygwin
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import string
  >>> string.count("foo", "bar")
  0
