In python everything is an object and you can pass it around easily.
So I can do :
>> def b():
....print "b"
>> a = b
>> a()
b
But if I do
a = print
I get SyntaxError . Why so ?
In Python 2.x, print is a statement not a function. In 2.6+ you can enable it to be a function within a given module using
from __future__ import print_function. In Python 3.x it is a function that can be passed around.
