Python - Passing a function into another function

Question

I am solving a puzzle using python and depending on which puzzle I am solving I will have to use a special set of rules. How can I pass a function into another function in Python?

Example

def Game(listA, listB, rules):
   if rules == True:
      do...
   else:
      do...

def Rule1(v):
  if "variable_name1" in v:
      return False
  elif "variable_name2" in v:
      return False
  else:
      return True

def Rule2(v):
  if "variable_name3" and "variable_name4" in v:
      return False
  elif "variable_name4" and variable_name1 in v:
      return False
  else:
      return True

This is just a pseudo code and therefore not specific but I get the code to compile but I need to know how to call the function Game and whether it's correctly defined since rules will be switched for either Rule1(v) or Rule2(v).

Just pass it in like any other parameter:

def a(x):
    return "a(%s)" % (x,)

def b(f,x):
    return f(x)

print b(a,10)
