Can you create a function that works if you *don't* use pgAdmin to do
it? Also try pg_dump'ing the function so you can see exactly what
pgAdmin put into it.

I seem to recall that pgAdmin is a bit cavalier about whitespace in
function bodies, which in sanely-defined languages is no big deal
but in Python there are multiple ways in which it will kill you.
This could be either a problem of inconsistent newlines or excess
leading whitespace ...
