Passing arguments to function - (The fundamentals are confusing me)

Well, the easiest way is to wrap it in a list:

mybool = [True]
mybool[0] = False
mybool[0] = True

and so on.

Alternately, what is this boolean attached to that's so significant? 
Sharing an arbitrary boolean, without any context, is rather strange -- 
perhaps it would be best to include both the boolean and associated 
context in a single, larger object.

Also, remember that Python functions can return more than one value, 
through implicit tuple packing and unpacking.  This greatly reduces the 
need for C-like result = function(&other_result) - isms.

def myfunc():
    return 1,2,3
(a,b,c) = myfunc()
a == 1
b == 2
c == 3
