In python (this is not jython specific) an assignment in a function implicitly
declare the assigned var as *local* to the function

def set(newc):
 Count = newc # implicilty declare a local Count var (unrelated to global one)
 
If you want to change a global var you should be explicit about that:

def set(newc):
 global Count
 Count = newc
