To use a variable globally, *if you're going to rebind it* (as in, assign to it)
you need to put a "global" statement at the top of each function which uses it.

If all you ever do is read the value, you don't need this, but you are trying
to rebind the name "enc" in some of those functions, so you must have a 
"global enc" statement before you do that.
