Assuming that func() (no parameters) returns a list. In the following code I want self.myfunction to point to the function and not the returned list. How can I do this?
class myArrayThread(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self,ThreadName, func):
self.ThreadName = ThreadName
self.myfunction = func
# ......... more stuff after this
It already does what you want.
You are probably calling it the following way:
myArrayThread("some_name", func())
but it should be called
myArrayThread("some_name", func)

Your code already does exactly what you want:
>>> def a():
... return [1]
...
>>> b=a
>>> b
<function a at 0x7f4b6aeb96a8>
>>> b()
[1]
>>> a
<function a at 0x7f4b6aeb96a8>
b "points to" the function a. You have to call it to get the return value of a (or b which is just another name for the same thing, see last line)
