Print statement not printing from if statement

Sorry I know this is going to seem very stupid, I'm new to coding and have been working on this tic tac toe program in Python (I know much of the code is probably redundant and could be solved more efficiently) for practice, my issue is that my newgame and player2 methods, if statement blocks aren't printing at all and when I format them, the if and elif statements are both printed, I think it's an indentation issue but beautify didn't fix it either, any help please? P.S I know it's still extremely unfinished lmao

game = [[0, 0, 0],

print("Player 1 is X Player 2 is O")
if playercount == 0:
    playercount += 1


def whosgo():
    mod = playercount % 2
    if mod > 0:
        print("it's player 1's turn")
    else:
        print("it's player 2's turn, O's")
