You may want to read:

https://docs.python.org/3/faq/programming.html?highlight=global#why-am-i-getting-an-unboundlocalerror-when-the-variable-has-a-value

from the Python docs Programming FAQ section.
It explains your problem pretty well.

As others have hinted at, always provide concrete Python error messages 
and tracebacks instead of vague descriptions.

Best,
Wolfgang
