the string class, but I was just trying to do it the syntactical way to

Which is not a bad thing.

just returning 1 or 0, even if I very clearly make sure that I specify
at least 4 instances of the digit in my number string:

number = raw_input('Enter a 7-unit number: ')

digit = raw_input('Enter a single digit: ')

for i in number:
     count = 0

you reset count to zero everytime round the loop.
You need to move this outside the loop.
