Cool. That's an expression, but it isn't a function. To make that into
a function, you need to prefix it with the lambda keyword.
So you should be able to construct functions like this:
f1 = eval("lambda x: " + input("function 1: "))
Then, when you type "x**3", Python evaluates "lambda x: x**3", which
is a function.
