Beginners Query - Simple counter problem

[David Barr]

I am brand new to Python (this is my second day), and the only 
experience I have with programming was with VBA.  Anyway, I'm posting 
this to see if anyone would be kind enough to help me with this (I 
suspect, very easy to solve) query.

The following code is in a file which I am running through the 
interpreter with the execfile command, yet it yeilds no results.  I 
appreciate I am obviously doing something really stupid here, but I 
can't find it.  Any help appreciated.


def d6(i):
     roll = 0
     count = 0
     while count <= i:
         roll = roll + random.randint(1,6)
         count += 1

     return roll

print d6(3)
