What does not work? You never load your file test.py anywhere inside,
you just evaluate 'def test_function(): arg1,arg2' so what are you
expecting to happen?

Your call to '$interpreter eval' lets you call arbitrary python code,
but you have to provide the python code that loads your function
definitions etc. I don't know python, but it should be a trivial code.
