overriding a user method from C code...

[kdschlosser]

I know that sub classing is able to be done and one of the features of sub classing is to override the behavior of a parent classes method. if the method is called from say the __init__ method of the parent class how is that done from c code? Or can it be done from C code..

what I am doing is I am creating a threading module that is a user_c_module. so with the Thread class you basically have this..

class Thread:

    def __init__(self, target=None, name=None, args=(,), kwargs={}):
        self._target = target
        self._name = name
        self._args = args
        self._kwargs = kwargs
        ...

    def start(self):
        # code here to start the thread pointing to run as the target for the thread.
        # if the user subclasses this class they would override the run method to don the code they want ran without having to provide a target. 
        self.run()

    def run(self):
        self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)

Now this is an over simplification but if the user overrides the run method how do I go about collecting the users method from c code?
