Are functions evaluated when passed as parameters?

Question

if I have some code like this:

def handler(self):
   self.run(self.connect)

def connect(self, param):
   #do stuff...

def run(self, connector):
   self.runner          


        

Answer 1

None of the code in your question actually calls connect(), so the function is never invoked. All that self.run(self.connect) does is make self.runner a synonym for self.connect.
