return the value from one function and pass it as an argument to the 
other.
Example:

def oneFunction()
     x = [1,2,3]
     return x

def another(aValue):
     print aValue


def main():
    myList = oneFunction()
    another(myList)

Does that make any kind of sense to you?
For more on functions and arguments and parameter passing
see my tutorial topic on Modules and functions.

Nope, the Mac makes no difference whatsoever in this situation. :-)
