You could do something like this:

# at global scope:

def GetFunc1Reference():
  return Func1
  
# ... other code ...

def Func1( .. ):
  pass

REF_TO_FUNC1 = GetFunc1Reference()

# ... other code ...

REF_TO_FUNC1()

This technique can be used inside a class too.

That's the nature of an interactive programming language.
