The problem isn't with your code. InsetLayout does not support counters. 
The LabelType and LabelCounter tags don't exist in InsetLayout (so are 
throwing error, which you'll see if you launch LyX from a terminal). So 
LyX itself knows the counter 'code' exists, because you declared it, but 
it doesn't associate it with the 'Code Python' layout. Hence, it 
defaults to using the section counter to render it.

Again, because InsetLayout doesn't do counters. So there's no way to do 
that in LyX.


It probably should, but that would take some work (on our part).
