Just define 'function' as being the type of (a) function.  Any function
will do.  This will fix your problem eg:

def main():
   function = type(main)
   a = Tag("descripció", str, "primera tasca")
   b = Tag("unmes", function, lambda x: x+1)
   print(a)
   print(b)

I used "main" but you can use whatever you like.

It sounds to me however as though your type system may be (at least
partially) independent of the real (python) type of whatever you're
storing.  If so, I'd actualy suggest you explicitly define your own type
system and tag your objects accordingly.  (E.g. create your own variant of
the 'types' module and use those types as appropriate.)
