count = 1
while (count < 10):
 click("460450485686722.png")
 count = count + 1
print ("finish")

You seem to have misformatted the input.
Whitespace is significant in Python.
Python groups statements according to the amount of whitespace in front of it.

"count = 1
         while (count < 10):
         click(Pattern("58679475550934.png").targetOffset(-8,-8))
         count = count + 1"
is wrong, it probably has to be
"count = 1
while (count < 10):
         click(Pattern("58679475550934.png").targetOffset(-8,-8))
         count = count + 1"
denoting that the indented lines (click... and count=count+1) are inside the while loop.

Please check with python manuals.

It seems that you have an extra closing bracket somewhere.
Are you sure that the error is caused by one of the lines in your snippet and not by some other part of your code?
