The sample code in the itertools.count documentation should be indented by 4 spaces.

For 2.7.4: lines 3429 till 3432 in http://hg.python.org/releasing/2.7.4/file/026ee0057e2d/Modules/itertoolsmodule.c#l3429

For 3.4.0a1: lines 3981 till 3984 in http://hg.python.org/releasing/py3.4.0a1/file/edc668a667ad/Modules/itertoolsmodule.c#l3981

Also, the example code uses the arguments 'firstval' and 'step' whereas the documentation of the function itself uses the arguments 'start' and 'step'. Maybe better be consistent and use as first argument 'start' in both cases?
