You could declare output to be global, but it's kind of poor style.
Preferable is something like:

    def Func1():
        choice = ('A', 'B', 'C')
        output = random.choice(choice)
        return output

    def Func2(x):
        print x

    output = Func1()  # this "output" is not the same as the one in Func1
    Func2(output)
