Python: Pass execution statement as function parameter
<pre><code>retVal = None
retries = 5
success = False
while retries &gt; 0 and success == False:
    try:
        retVal = graph.put_event(**args)
        success = True
    except:
        retries = retries-1
        logging.info('Facebook put_event timed out.  Retrying.')
return success, retVal
</code></pre>

<p>In the code above, how can I wrap this whole thing up as a function and make it so that any command (in this example, 'graph.put_event(**args)') can be passed in as a parameter to be executed within the function?</p>
