COUNT is not working

[ReshmaDangol]

When running the following query, I get error.

g = Graph()
g.parse("demo.nt", format="nt")
qres = g.query("""
SELECT count(*)
where{?s ?p ?o}
""")

Error:
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rdflib/graph.py", line 1085, in query
query_object, initBindings, initNs, **kwargs))
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rdflib/plugins/sparql/processor.py", line 74, in query

heh, yes, sorry... virtuoso allows this, but we're closer to the sparql spec and require

select (count(*) as ?c) where {?s ?p ?o}

Thank you for the clarification. I was nearly going insane over it the other day.
