assuming class means class instance, and function means method,

    class MyClass:

        def function1(self):
            self.variable = 1 # assign to it

        def function2(self):
            print self.variable # access it

should do the trick (variables are usually initialized in the __init__
method; see the link below for details); usage:

    >>> c = MyClass()
    >>> c.function1()
    >>> c.function2()
    1

but this is surely explained in the documentation:

    http://docs.python.org/tut/node11.html

so you probably meant something else.
