In Python, a 'def' statement binds the newly created function to a name 
in the current namespace.  Your definition acts a little bit like the 
(totally imaginary) code:

abc = make_function('abc', (), 'pass')

...so 'abc' already exists, there's no need to "get" it.

Example:

def abc(x):
   return x + 1

y = abc(1)
