Problems closing a valve block with a Python Block

GNU Radio
1

Hello:
We have successfully used a GUI block to open (or close) a valve by
pressing the mouse button.
Now we want to open (or close) the valve from a Python block that we
are writing after comparing two messages. If the messages are the same,
we want to open the valve, otherwise the valve should remain closed.

Below is the xml definition of our Python block as well as the Python
code. The problem we are having is that GRC does not allow us to compile
the code. The variable beacon_tx is not recognized by the valve block.

Can somebody help u with this issue?

Thanks.
