I created a function for testing the patch, but when i run following
command, the function always raise an exception

select test_in_params('first');
ERROR: plpython: function "test_in_params" failed
DETAIL: exceptions.NameError: global name 'first' is not defined

here is the script of fucntion
create or replace function test_in_params(first text)
returns text
as $$
return first + 'first'
$$LANGUAGE plpythonu;

what version of postgresql are you are you running

hannu=# create or replace function test_in_params(first text)
hannu-# returns text
hannu-# as $$
hannu$# return first + 'first'
hannu$# $$LANGUAGE plpythonu;
CREATE FUNCTION
hannu=# select test_in_params('first');
test_in_params
----------------
firstfirst
(1 row)

Support for named parameters has been in postgresql singce at least 8.2,
maybe 8.1 even.
