This behaviour is by design. queryset.count() actually constructs (and executes) a new 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table' query. This means that it will always return the current number of objects matching the query. In your case, the number of objects is changing, so count() will return a different value each time. len(queryset) returns the length of the evaluated queryset. When the queryset is evaluated for the first time, it will act as a cache, so all calls to len(queryset) will return the same value.
