What error do you get?
What version of Python?
What OS?

And in particular: What 'function' built-in class?  I know of no such 
thing, and the error message I get with your code says exactly that:
   NameError: name 'function' is not defined
Did you not get that same error?

All of which begs the questions: What do you think the function class 
is, and why are you trying to extend it?
