But it depends how you are creating the reference to the function. The

Hope this helps.
Thanks man it does help.
Then it might help even more to realize that you can use lists and
dictionaries of functions as well:
>>> def f1(x):
... return x*2
...
>>> def f2(x):
... return "This is an %s" % x
...
>>> def f3(x):
... return "%s:%s" % (x, x)
...
>>> fl = [f1, f2, f3]
>>> for s in ("bigstring", "tiny"):
... for i in range(len(fl)):
... print fl[i](s)
...
bigstringbigstring
This is an bigstring
bigstring:bigstring
tinytiny
This is an tiny
tiny:tiny
>>>
