The above three lines don't make sense to me. I have no idea with
allobject.getPath() would return (by all indications it should be an
error unless it acquires something named getPath). Also, allobject[0] is
always the same thing, the first catalog result. allobject[i][0] doesn't
make sense, the first item of the ith catalog result? I don't know what
you would get from that (I'm surprised it's not an error).

What happens if you just do:

i = 0
for obj in allobject:
    i += 1
return i

?
