What is the difference between a statement and a function in Python?

Question

Edit: The suggested duplicate, does not answer my question, as I am primarily concerned with the difference in Python specifically. The suggested duplicate is far broade

Answer 1

A statement is a syntax construct. A function is an object. There's statements to create functions, like def:

def Spam(): pass

So statements are one of the ways to indicate to Python that you want it to create a function. Other than that, there's really not much relation between them.
