context.user_preferences.edit.use_global_undo = False```
It logs the undo option from userprefs, then disables it. 

**Problem:** when the addon runs into an error (popup message) sometimes, it does not re-enable Global Undo, so if someone is unaware that this even disables it, they wouldn't be able to undo and wouldn't know why.

The addon is *broken/not in development* and while it works correctly in some situations, it has a tendency to run into errors, stopping  it's use where you have to disable it then re-enable to start using again. 

***My* Solution:** comment one or both of the lines out to stop the addon from disabling Global Undo (until someone decides to start working on it again).
