Note that you used a different name here than in your
function definition!

I'm guessing that's a typo, but its one reason to always
cut 'n paste real code into your emails.

Also as a matter of style its usual in Python to make
function names start with a lower case letter:

def myFunction():

or

def my_function():

But that's just a community convention.

But Chris has answered your original question, you
need to add calling parens.
