This is a snippet of what you have I am guessing.  There is no print
statement so you won't be able to see the results.  Its best if you
include your complete code (if its short) or an example that actually
shows the problem..

That being said, you should pass y as a parameter to your function.
Using globals is always a bad idea.  That's another discussion
entirely, but you should google why globals are a bad idea to learn
more.
Your code does a calculation to create a value you call v.  You should
put a print statement below that to see what v has become.  Your inner
loop rewrites v for each loop.  It actually re-writes it twice i think
-- once when it iterates, and once when it calculates.  So you need to
fix that.  Also I think you need to interate using d.interitems()

That's a start.  Come back with the code you actually wrote and the
results it showed you.
