This cannot be the code you are actually using, because that raises 
UnboundLocalError. count is never initialised, so that function you give 
cannot possibly run as shown.


py> def test():
...     count = count + 1
...
py> test()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in test
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'count' referenced before assignment


There's no point us trying to debug code you aren't actually running. 
Try again with the actual working code. It might help if you read this:
