Python Python Collections (2016, retired 2019) Dictionaries Word Count

What is wrong with this code (dictionary challenge)?

This code runs well when I run it inside of work space, but it does not accept it here...

wordcount.py 
# E.g. word_count("I do not like it Sam I Am") gets back a dictionary like:
# {'i': 2, 'do': 1, 'it': 1, 'sam': 1, 'like': 1, 'not': 1, 'am': 1}
# Lowercase the string to make it easier.

def word_count(sentence):
    sentence = sentence.lower()
    words = sentence.split()
    wo = []
    co = []
    for i in range(len(words)):
      word = words[i]
      count = 0
      for j in range(len(words)):
        if word == words[j] and word not in wo:
          count += 1
          #print(count, word, words[j])
      if count != 0:
        wo.append(word)
        co.append(count)
    dicti = dict(zip(wo,co))
    #print (dicti)
