I\'m working on a project in Python using the \"thread\" module.

How can I make a global variable (in my case I need it to be True or False) that all the threads in

With no clue as to what you are really trying to do, either go with nio's approach and use locks, or consider condition variables:

From the docs

# Consume one item
cv.acquire()
while not an_item_is_available():
    cv.wait()
get_an_available_item()
cv.release()

# Produce one item
cv.acquire()
make_an_item_available()
cv.notify()
cv.release()

You can use this to let one thread tell another a condition has been met, without having to think about the locks explicitly. This example uses cv to signify that an item is available.
