My problem was that I didn't understand the scoping rules. It is still
strange to me that the getValues variable is still in scope outside
the if/else branches.
Those if/else are at global scope. An 'if' statement does not introduce a
new scope; so getDictValues, despite being "indented", is defined at
global scope, and may be used anywhere in the module.
