This function is completely pointless, you might as well
just define the variables at the top level.

The block above is at top level so Python will execute it as it reads 
the file. And at this stage pathpt1 does not exist so it fails. You need 
to move this block into a function (maybe it was intended to be part of 
the one above but you messed up the indent?). Alternatively you need to 
move the definition of pathpt1 above this block.
