In the code below it says: "SyntaxWarning: name 'color' is assigned to before global declaration global color" However, I declared global color before I assign it? I am very confused. I ran it and it works but I just don't understand what the syntax warning is pointing to...

from Tkinter import *
from sys     import exit
from random import *

color = "black" #Sets default color to black
w,h=640,480 #Width, height of canvas
root=Tk()
pixelcount = 0 #Sets the inital pixelcount to 1
tool = 1 #Sets deafu
ptX, ptY, ptX2, ptY2 = 0, 0, 0, 0
cnvs=Canvas(root,width=w,height=h,bg='#D2B48C') # 210 180 140
cnvs.pack(side = RIGHT)
buttons = Frame(root, width = 80, height = h) #Creates region for buttons
buttons.pack(side = LEFT) #Put button region on left

def quit(evt):
    exit(0)       

def menu(arg): #Accepts arguments from button clicks and binds appropriate stimulus to appropriate tool function
    print arg
    global tool
    cnvs.unbind('<Button-1>')
    if arg == 1:
       cnvs.bind('<Button-1>', line)
    elif arg == 2:  
       cnvs.bind('<Button-1>', poly) 
    elif arg == 3:
       cnvs.bind('<Button-1>', rect)
    elif arg == 4:
       cnvs.bind('<B1-Motion>', pencil)
    elif arg == 5:
       cnvs.bind('<B1-Motion>', spray)
    elif arg == 6:
       cnvs.bind('<B1-Motion>', blotter)   
    elif arg == 7:
       global color
       color = "red"
    elif arg == 8:
       global color 
       color = "black"
    elif arg == 9:
       global color
       color = "blue"

You don't put a global declaration immediately before every use of the variable; you use it once, at the beginning of the function in which the variable is declared global:

def menu(arg): 
    global tool
    global color

    cnvs.unbind('<Button-1>')
    if arg == 1:
       cnvs.bind('<Button-1>', line)
    elif arg == 2:  
       cnvs.bind('<Button-1>', poly) 
    elif arg == 3:
       cnvs.bind('<Button-1>', rect)
    elif arg == 4:
       cnvs.bind('<B1-Motion>', pencil)
    elif arg == 5:
       cnvs.bind('<B1-Motion>', spray)
    elif arg == 6:
       cnvs.bind('<B1-Motion>', blotter)   
    elif arg == 7:
       color = "red"
    elif arg == 8:
       color = "black"
    elif arg == 9:
       color = "blue"
    elif arg == 10:
       color = "purple"
