PROBLEM: for some reason, the variables won't work outside the function. I tried fix it by converting the variables to str and unicode and still no joy. The only way it works is by typing each source and destination file by hand on the shutil.copy2() method. Or by specifying the functions *inside* the function itself.
Any ideas?
