That's what it means.  The way to call foo is `foo()`.

        def executer (func, para):
            foo (*para)

will allow you to specify the parameter list explicitely.  Then

        executer (foo, ())
...
        executer (bar, (1,))
...
        def baz (a, b):
            print "2 params:", a, b

        executer (baz, (1, 2))
