This pretty much says what your problem is: you haven't a variable called
_nntp

And here we see why: In the Disconnect-case, where is that _nntp supposed to
come from? I'm not sure what you want here, as you seem to rely on global
variables very much, but to me the whole elif-block is bogus. You
unecessarily communicate over b['text']

Do it like this:

def callconnect():
        if b["text"]=="Connect":
                _nntp =
nntplib.NNTP(_global.servername,int(_global.portnumber),_global.userid,_global.userpassword)
                if(_nntp):
                    _nntp.quit()
