I know that is only intended as an example, but by trying to use
Mathematica idioms in Python you are perhaps blinding yourself to using
Python's own idioms. A more

Not on functions, but on classes/instances. So something like this might
work for you (untested):
class FunctionC
Thanks for the reply!

I used Mathematica for data processing a lot and I got spoiled by its
functional programming possibilities.
I was drawn to Python because it also allows for a similar programming
style (and, more importantly, it has an interactive shell, ipython,
and a lot of libraries that are useful to me, like
