I totally agree with everything Steven said.
However there is one glaring mistake in your code....
count = 0
while count< 8:
for i in firstrow:
print i
count += 1
firstrow[i+1]
What do you think that last row is doing?
Whatever it is, you are almost certainly wrong.
But eventually it is likely to throw an index error...

It seemed like I could make the for loop work by doing something like
this:
for i in firstrow:
print i, i+2
but that obviously is not a solution either. Any ideas?
It works perfectly. It prints out i and i+2 for every member of
firstrow. Whether that's what you want to do is another matter.
As Steven said, try working out what you want to do first,
then write the code.
