Global variable would not change

I called a global boolean in the function, but it still enters the 'if' even though the condition is not true.

I've been searching around but couldn't find a similar problem.

from Tkinter import *
import time

jumping = False
def jump(parts, high = 25): #to fix: can jump again in middle jump
    global jumping
    jumping = True
    for t in range(high*-3, 0, 1):
        w.move(parts[0], 0, 1)
        master.update()
        time.sleep(.0083)
    jumping = False
#thats the condition, which can be entered even while "jump()" is running.
if not jumping:
    master.bind('w', lambda x: jump(penguin_parts))

I expected it not to allow me to press 'w' and activate "jump()" when the function is in process but it actually lets me, just like jumping is still False.

There's nothing there to unbind the w key to the jump() function. Once it's bound, it remains bound until you unbind it. 

from Tkinter import *
import time

jumping = False
def jump(parts, high = 25):
    if jumping == False:
        global jumping
        jumping = True
        for t in range(high*-3, 0, 1):
            w.move(parts[0], 0, 1)
            master.update()
            time.sleep(.0083)
        jumping = False
    master.bind('w', lambda x: jump(penguin_parts))
