Print statement not printing from if statement

Question

I have been working on this tic tac toe program in Python to practice. My issue is with 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.

How do I solve this issue?

    playercount = 0
game = [[0, 0, 0],
        [0, 0, 0],
        [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")


def createboard():
    tcolumns = "    |   " * 2
    print(tcolumns)
    rows = " ---------------"
    print(rows)
    print(tcolumns)
    print(rows)
    print(tcolumns)


def newgame():
    playercount = 0
    row = input("what row do you want to go in? ")
    column = input("and what column? ")
    rows = " ---------------"
    tcolumns = "    |   " * 2
    if row == 1 and column == 1:
        print("  X |       |    ")
        print(rows)
        print(tcolumns)
        print(rows)
        print(tcolumns)
        playercount += 1
        game.insert(0, game[1])
    elif row == 2 and column == 2:
        print("  X |   O   |    ")
        print(rows)
        print("    |   X   |    ")
        print(rows)
        print(tcolumns)
        playercount += 1

    print("it's player 2's turn")
    playercount = 1

        print(tcolumns)
        print(rows)
