UnboundLocalError: local variable 't2' referenced before assignment

can anyone figure out why t2 is not being used properly?
The problem is that you're not making it clear to Python that you want the t2 mentioned in Proc to reference the global t2, rather than a local. It's concluding the latter, whereas you mean the former. You can probably see that as a local, t2 is indeed referenced before it's assigned (t2 = t2 + letter). The fix is to declare t2 global at the top of Proc:
def Proc(text):
global t2
