The current_scene variable currently is set to None, instead of athe 
value that you think it has.

Try inserting the line 

    print repr(current_scene), type(current_scene)

just before line 21. Then you need to work out why it is set to None, 
instead of whatever you expect it to be.

By the way, you shouldn't expect us to hunt through dozens or hundreds 
of lines of code trying to debug your program for you. We're volunteers, 
not being paid to do this. You should give us a *minimum* (small!) 
example of your program.

That might mean keeping two copies, one which has all the irrelevant 
code removed. (Like the dozens of calls to print -- not one 
single one of those lines of code could possibly have anything 
to do with the bug in your program.)

Removing that irrelevant code, cutting it down to a minimum, may even 
help you find the bug yourself! Please read this for more information:

Even though this is written for Java programmers, the principles also 
apply to Python.

Have you? That explains why the indentation is messed up for me, making 
the code impossible to understand correctly. And the green doesn't show up 
in my email program.

Code is PLAIN TEXT, with no formatting. When you add formatting, like 
colours, bold or italics, fancy fonts, animmated paperclips, etc, your 
email program will destroy the indentation and make it unusable.
