Can I do this?
var1 = some_function(var1)
When I tried to do this I got errors, but perhaps I was doing something wrong.

Answer
If the variable has been previously defined, you can do that yes.
Example:
def f(x): return x+1 var1 = 5 var1 = f(var1) # var1 is now 6
If the variable has not been defined previously, you can’t do that, simply because there is no value that could be passed to the function.
