Do you mean other functions within the same module or do 
you mean functions in other modules?

For the first case, keep the number of functions to a reasonable number
so you can remember what's in there, and use classes top group related 
functions together. If you have too many functions in a single module it 
gets difficult for the module user to remember them too so its a good 
idea to split big modules up when they get too busy.

For the second case you don;t need to woory because thats why we 
use modules - to separate out the namespaces. So if you have two 
functions f() inn two modules A and B you just import A and B and 
access A.f() and B.f()

Kent mentioned support tools already.
