Yep, it's a scope problem. In the beginning of your main() function, add this:

global firstevent

That should done it. Any variable that is not defined inside a function, is a global. You can access it straightly from any function. However, to modify the variable you'll need to write global var in your function.

Example

This creates a local variable "firstevent" on the function:

firstevent = 0 def modify(): firstevent = 1

andAnd this modifies the global variable 'firstevent'

firstevent = 0 def modify(): global firstevent firstevent = 1
