Comment (by dustin):

 So there are two ways to do that.

 You can download a python script to your slave (with !FileDownload) and
 then run it (with !ShellCommand).  Put your function in that script.

 Or, you can customize the buildslave by adding and registering a new
 command, and then write a custom step on the master that invokes that
 command.

 The second option is a *lot* more work, but depending on what you want to
 do, might be a better choice.
