You want to count how often your own python components executes, or do you want to measure how often some other component executes?

This thread has a couple of approaches to this. I'm sure there probably are properties of the GHPython component itself which keeps track of how many times it has been executed etc. If so you can access it via ghenv.Component inside the GHPython code..

David thank you for your reply, yes I want to count the number of times my own python component executes.

That just requires a static integer that you increment at the start of your main def. I'm sorry but I don't know how to declare a static variable in Python.
