how to call a function from a function object

You just call the object, since it's just a function object, not really but it refers to it, example:

def a():

    return 'a'

b = a
print(b())

actually I'm storing this in a dictionary

dct = {"func": func}

now i want dct["func"] to call the function func but it's giving me a function object can i call that object to call my original function

Just do this: dct['func']()

You can call the original function like a() in this case.
