No, that won't work (not correct Python). But you don't have to use
response.menu at all -- it's just a convenience. MENU() takes any list of
tuples, so you could do:
menu1 = [...]
menu2 = [...]
Note, in that case, you would have to define menu1 and menu2 in a model file
(which is where response.menu is often set anyway) so they will be available
in all controllers and views. Alternatively, you could make response.menu
either a list or dictionary of menus:
response.menu = {}
response.menu['menu1'] = [...]
response.menu['menu2'] = [...]
and then call MENU(response.menu['menu1']), etc.
