Sure. But it depends a lot on what you're willing to do. The docs have the
details. This one I did just to learn it:
CREATE FUNCTION f_v_fechamento(p_cliente_id integer, p_data date, p_pago boolean, OUT retorno record) RETURNS record
AS $$
p_cliente_id = args[0]
p_data = args[1]
p_pago = args[2]
w_total = 0
w_amostra = 0
w_final_do_mes = plpy.execute("SELECT f_v_final_do_mes(%s::date)" % p_data)
w_inicio_do_mes = plpy.execute("SELECT f_v_inicio_mes(%s::date)" % p_data)
retorno = dict()
retorno['w_inicio_do_mes'] = w_inicio_do_mes
retorno['w_final_do_mes'] = w_final_do_mes
return retorno
$$
LANGUAGE plpythonu STABLE;
It can be rewritten in a better way but was the handier example I had here
that had queries and used a bit more of PostgreSQL 8.1 :-)

It's just pure Python. And you use plpy for querying the database.

I hope never, otherwise we loose some facilities. You understood the concept
of 'safe' and 'unsafe' in PostgreSQL's docs, right? It might not be what
you're thinking.
Be seeing you,
