	Then don't inherit the namespace of someFunc. You could even
	move onSuccess outside of someFunc, to make sure you don't do
	that by accident.

	Besides, you are adding the outer d to deferreds once per
	iteration. That's broken.

        What do you want? I don't know what you are trying to do, so
        here's a guess, in form of a similar example as your code:

def onSuccess(item):
    d = item.doSomethingElseThatReturnsDeferred()
    return d

def someFunc(listOfItems):
    deferreds = []

    for item in listOfItems:
        d = doSomethingThatReturnsDeferred(item)
        d.addCallbacks(onSuccess, log.err)
        deferreds.append(d)

    return defer.DeferredList(deferreds)
