You don't declare functions in Python.  You simply define them.  You
could define all your functions first and then call them.  This is
probably not a bad idea anyway.  However, I suspect it doesn't solve
your problem but since you haven't articulated it I can't tell.

Don't present a solution and ask how it could work.  Tell us what
problem you are trying to solve and maybe we can suggest a solution.
