in fact, you can also get uppercase, etc. from the string module.

 >>> import string
 >>> string.digits
'0123456789'
 >>> string.ascii_lowercase
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
 >>> string.ascii_uppercase
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
 >>> string.punctuation
'!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~'
 >>> string.whitespace
' \t\n\r\x0b\x0c'

you don't need any of that

That is C/javascript/etc. syntax.  Python delimits a code block 
following a : using required indentation, no braces involved. Or allowed.

And... you can (and should) just iterate over the string directly, like:

for c in sent:
     if c in up:
         upp += 1

Indeed, Python can also make that check for you using a string method:

     if c.isupper():
         upp += 1

there's islower() and isdigit() and others.
