Well, the reason why this code doesn't work is because of the line:

i=i+1

'i' needs to be defined before this - you can't use a variable if it
hase already been defined.  I think you're trying to do this:

i = 0
def handler(req):
...
...i = i + 1

Also, it's hard to post to your thread because you're using a fake
email.
