When you reassign a value to count in your check_Count function, you are doing so to a local variable.
Check the id of count,
I also note you are using recursion (calling a function before returning from it).
(As you are learning Python, I strongly recommend you use Python 3 rather than legacy Python. (Support for Python 2 ends on 1st January 2020.) Generally, I'd suggest that only experienced programmers responsible for maintaining old code, or those with a absolute dependency on a library that has not yet been updated and for which there are no Python 3 compatible alternatives should be using Python 2. Python 3 has many advances, fixed a lot of issues, and is more performant.)
Check the id of count,
print('initial', id(count)), after first initialising, and also before and after the increment in the function.I also note you are using recursion (calling a function before returning from it).

I am trying to help you, really, even if it doesn't always seem that way
