This should be fixed now. rank() and dim() may now be overloaded.
Here's an example:

from dolfin import *

class MyFunction(Function):
     def __init__(self, mesh):
         Function.__init__(self, mesh)
     def rank(self):
         return 1
     def dim(self, i):
         return 2
     def eval(self, values, x):
         values[0] = -x[1]
         values[1] = x[0]

mesh = UnitSquare(16, 16)
f = MyFunction(mesh)

plot(f)
