process() wasn't defined either, nor were n and seq and yet you're not
complaining about them.
It seems it was clear to everyone but you that seq was a sequence
defined elsewhere, n was an index defined elsewhere, and both process
and do_without_item were functions defined elsewhere.
And even if you want to be so incredibly pedantic that do_without_item
(and only do_without_item, because the rest of the code fragment seems
to get your seal of approval) is not defined, your "functioning
equivalent" is still not equivalent, because the original code would
have raised a NameError that yours doesn't.

You think you can just slap a function-y looking symbol
willy-nilly in the middle of a chunk of code and then have
it "magically" transform into a python function object?
>>> do_without_item()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
do_without_item()
NameError: name 'do_without_item' is not defined
>>> foo()

File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
foo()
NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
>>> bar()

bar()
NameError: name 'bar' is not defined
if "do_without_item()" had been defined, then you could call
it a function. But until you do, it's just a NameError.
