It would be helpful if you would also include the error that you get
when trying to run the code.

That said, these lines stick out as being obviously wrong.  The global
statement is used within the context of a function to declare that a
name used within that function has global scope rather than local
scope.  There is no meaning to using the statement at the module level
like this -- Python already knows the name is global, because it's not
being used within a function -- and I'd be surprised if this didn't
result in a SyntaxError.
