This is the code snippet with more context, but it isn't runnable
without creating a bunch of dummy objects:
# data is a dictionary. The keys are student names, the values are
Tracker object.
# The tracker class defines the method hasFWS() which returns a
boolean.
# _monthnumbers is a list: [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
I just cut out the code that doesn't have anything to do the variable
fws_last_col

fws_first_col = 6

for student in sorted(data.keys() ):
    #~ print student

    tracker = data[student]

    if tracker.hasFWS():

        idx = fws_first_col


        for _month in iter(_monthnumbers):
            idx += 2
        fws_last_col = idx

        fws_month_count_col = idx + 4
        fwsrow += 1

print fws_last_col
