In python what is the equivalent of the quote operator? I am finding the need to delay evaluation. For example, suppose in the following lisp psuedocode I have:

```
a = '(func, 'g)
g = something
(eval a)

```

What I am doing is deferring evaluation of `g` till a later time. This is necessary because I want to define `g` later. What is the equivalent idea of this psuedocode in python?
