UnboundLocalError problems

[Mr SZ]

Hi,

I am writing a small script that changes my pidgin status to away when I lock my screen.I'm using the DBUS API for pidgin and gnome-screensaver.Here's the code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import dbus, gobject
from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop
dbus.mainloop.glib.DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)
bus = dbus.SessionBus()

obj = bus.get_object("im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService", "/im/pidgin/purple/PurpleObject")
purple = dbus.Interface(obj, "im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface")


STATUS_AVAILABLE = 2
STATUS_AWAY = 5

ORIG_TYPE = 0
ORIG_MSG = ""


def my_func2(IsEnabled):
    if IsEnabled:
        ORIG_TYPE,ORIG_MSG = get_current()                
        set_status(STATUS_AWAY,"I'm not at my desk")
    else:
        set_status(ORIG_TYPE,ORIG_MSG)    

def set_status(kind, message):
        
    status = purple.PurpleSavedstatusNew("", kind)
    
    purple.PurpleSavedstatusSetMessage(status, message)
        purple.PurpleSavedstatusActivate(status)


def get_current():
    typ = purple.PurpleSavedstatusGetType(purple.PurpleSavedstatusGetCurrent())
    current = purple.PurpleSavedstatusGetCurrent()
    msg = purple.PurpleSavedstatusGetMessage(dbus.Int32(current))
    return typ,msg
    
bus.add_signal_receiver(my_func2,
                        dbus_interface="org.gnome.ScreenSaver",
                        signal_name="SessionIdleChanged")


loop = gobject.MainLoop()
loop.run()


When I run it,it errors out at :

        set_status(ORIG_TYPE,ORIG_MSG)    

giving the error "UnboundLocalError: local variable 'ORIG_TYPE' referenced before assignment" .This happens 

 Aren't ORIG_TYPE and ORIG_MSG global variables? Where am I going wrong?Everything works fine if I set the arguments manually to the set_status function.

Regards,
SZ
