def even_odd(number):

    for x in number:#why did you put this loop, you do not need it
#number argument itself, is considered as an int
        if x % 2 == 0:#you will have to change the x to number, the argument you recieve
            return True
        else:
            return False

Thank you sir. I'm really not sure as to why I created the loop. Functions confuse me a great deal for some reason so I just freaked out and threw some stuff in there. I appreciate the help though!
