Just to be clear, I was referring to these two lines

greet = compose_greet_func()

greet_someone = greet

Please don't top-post. Thanks.

Your first assignment:

  greet = compose_greet_func()

_calls_ (runs) the compose_greet_func and assigns its return value to greet.

Your second assignment:

  greet_someone = greet

assigns the current value of "greet", whatever that is, to "greet_someone". No function is called.
