Errrr, maybe you forgot to do "from Tkinter import *" in your module? 
CURRENT is just a constant defined in this module with the string value 
'current', so you just have to do a "from Tkinter import *" to use it. You 
may also just do an "import Tkinter" and use Tkinter.CURRENT instead of 
just CURRENT. In other words, don't look for magic here: CURRENT is just a 
constant variable like any other one, and getting a NameError using it just 
means that you didn't do the right things to get it properly defined...

BTW, AFAIK, the method itemConfig on canvases does not exist; it's named 
itemconfigure.
