It really helps to give us some basic information when asking questions.  
To start, what version of Python are you using, and what error message 
do you get?

At least in Python 2 (but, I'm guessing, maybe, you're using Python 3, 
since you put parens in your print() statement?), there is no built-in 
class called "function".  There are built-in functions, and they are of 
type builtin_function_or_method.  When I try to subclass that by doing:

class foo(type(open)):
    pass

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases
    type 'builtin_function_or_method' is not an acceptable base type

So, we're back to asking what version you're using and what error 
message you got.
