That depends on what "it" is that they're doing.

If they want a callable, then they're doing it wrong.

If they want a function regardless of whether it's written in Python or 
C or Cython, then they're doing it wrong.

But if they *specifically* want a Python function, perhaps so they can 
pull it apart in ways you can't do to functions written in other 
languages, then it is fine.
