This is fine.
But it only tells this function to treat them as globals.

This does nothing useful.
You need to tell the function that they are global just as
you did above. Global variables are considered bad practice
so Python doesn't make it easy to use them. (Although a
lot easier than some languages)

There are quite a few other things we could comment on in your
code but this should resolve the immediate issue.
