Yes, the syntactic mark you are looking for is 'def'.

Your example becomes:

>>> def dotimes(n, callable):
        for i in range(n): callable(i)

        
>>> def block(i):
        for j in range(i):
                print j,
        print

        
>>> dotimes(5, block)

0
0 1
0 1 2
0 1 2 3

The only thing you asked for that this doesn't do is make 'block' 
anonymous, but actually that is a good thing.
