Simple question here: ...

The "stupid" thing is that you can pass your own dictionary as globals
to exec. Then you can get a reference to the function under the name "f"
in the globals, and store that under whatever name you need....

Or, you can even more simply do:
text = '''
def f(state):
print state
return True
'''
lcl = {}
exec text in globals(), lcl
and lcl will be a dictionary with a single item: {'f' : <function>}
so you could return lcl.values()[0]
