In python, the name of a function is just a pointer to it.  Try this

>>> def foo():
	print "Hi!"

	
>>> class Problem:
	def __init__(self,fun):
		self.fun = fun

		
>>> p1 = Problem(foo)
>>> p2 = Problem(foo)
>>> foo
<function foo at 0x012C52B0>
>>> p1.fun
<function foo at 0x012C52B0>
>>> p2.fun
<function foo at 0x012C52B0>
>>> p1.fun == p2.fun
True
