If you are not in a function, then your question does not make sense for python. If you are in a function, then isThumbnail must have been defined before and you must use global, yes.
Thus, maybe no need for complicated expression:

isThumbnail = False;
def f(size):
  global isThumbnail
  if size == "thumbnail":
    isThumbnail = True
