Using global variables in a function other than the one that created them

I have the following scriptFrom this code:

COUNT = 0

def increment():
    COUNT = COUNT+1COUNT + 1

increment()

print COUNT

I just want to increment global variable COUNT, but this gives meget the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 6, in <module>
    increment()
  File "test.py", line 4, in increment
    COUNT = COUNT+1
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'COUNT' referenced before assignment

Why is it so? How can I increment the global variable COUNT from inside the function?
