Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,011 PointsHi Mathew
I don't think it was case of me bothering not to count the result rather not reading the question properly. I solved it in the end using users.followers.count()
thanks anyway

You aren't bothering to count them, you are just returning the result of the query. It's like someone is asking "How many people are in that room?" and for an answer they are being handed the entire room.
