Python Error Correction

I'm really enjoying the Python courses. One improvement I'd like to suggest during the objective tasks, you could try to make the error messages similar to what they'd actually say when running Python in your terminal. That may sound confusing so let me explain my situation.

I'm on the Teacher Stats objective 1 of 4 in Python Collections and I did everything I thought was correct. Here's my original code:

def most_classes(teacher_dict):
  max_count = 0
  best_teacher = ''
  for teacher in teacher_dict:
    for classes in teacher_dict[teacher]:
      count += 1
      if count > max_count:
        max_count = count
        best_teacher = teacher
        continue
      else:
        continue
  return best_teacher

It's wrong. The error I keep getting says, "Where's 'most_classes()'?" So I'm looking at my spelling of most_classes, making sure I have () instead of {} and so on. And I'm looking at what else could possibly make my entire function just not show up at all. I then decide to try this same code in my terminal. The error I get back is, "local variable 'count' referenced before assignment." So I change my code to this:

def most_classes(teacher_dict):
  max_count = 0
  best_teacher = ''
  for teacher in teacher_dict:
    count = 0
    for classes in teacher_dict[teacher]:
      count += 1
      if count > max_count:
        max_count = count
        best_teacher = teacher
        continue
      else:
        continue
  return best_teacher

All I did was add 'count = 0' under the first for loop. And boom, it works. I just wish the objectives could give similar error messages to what actual Python would give.
