Python strange NameError for def

Question

My code isnt too long so here is the whole program, when i run it it says

NameError: name 'xmlp' is not defined for line 88

It seems too simple, whats happening here ? It worked just before i took extract and copied it and renamed it to xmlp, i then made a new button to execute it but then it broke, why does it say its not defined when it very clearly is ?

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
from tkinter import filedialog
import tkinter as tk

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

interface = tk.Tk()
interface.geometry("900x500")
interface.title("Text display")

T = tk.Text(interface, height=20, width=150)
T.grid(column=1, row=2, columnspan=3)

def openfile(): # open your file and load it into the text widget

    global filename
    filename = filedialog.askopenfilename()
    print(filename)
    file = open(filename)
    global txt
    txt = file.read()

    T.delete('1.0', END)
    T.insert(tk.END, txt)

    return txt

def extract(): # take the opened file and write it to a text file
    open('somefile.txt', 'w').close()

    root = ET.fromstring(txt)

    str_params = root.findall('.//parameter/[parameterid="str"]')
    for param in str_params:
        if param.find('./name').text == 'Text':
            print(format(param.find('./value').text))
            with open('somefile.txt', 'a') as the_file:
                the_file.write(format(param.find('./value').text))
                the_file.write("\n")

    exportFileDir = open('somefile.txt',)

    txtExport = exportFileDir.read()

    T.delete('1.0', END)
    T.insert(tk.END,txtExport)

    def xmlp():  # take the opened file and write it to a text file
        open('somefile.txt', 'w').close()

        root = ET.fromstring(txt)

        str_params = root.findall('.//parameter/[parameterid="str"]')
        for param in str_params:

                    the_file.write("\n")

        exportFileDir = open('somefile.txt', )

        txtExport = exportFileDir.read()

        T.delete('1.0', END)
        T.insert(tk.END, txtExport)



def file_save():
    f = filedialog.asksaveasfile(mode='w', defaultextension=".txt")
    if f is None: # asksaveasfile return `None` if dialog closed with "cancel".
        return
    exportFileDir = open('somefile.txt')

    txtExport = exportFileDir.read()

    f.write(txtExport)
    f.close() # `()` was missing.

There is indentation (spacing and tabs) problem here. Let's say you copied a function 'function2'. What you did is:

def function1():
    print('hello 1')

    def function2():
        print('hello 2')

def function3():
    print('hello 3')

But the correct way is:

def function1():
    print('hello 1')

def function2():
    print('hello 2')

def function3():
    print('hello 3')
