How to determine enumeration values ​​that are functions?

Question

I have a situation where I need to enforce and provide the user with the option of one of several select functions that will be passed as an argument to another function:

I really want to achieve something like the following:

from enum import Enum

#Trivial Function 1
def functionA():
    pass

#Trivial Function 2
def functionB():
    pass

#This is not allowed (as far as i can tell the values should be integers)
#But pseudocode for what I am after
class AvailableFunctions(Enum):
    OptionA = functionA
    OptionB = functionB

So, you can do the following:

def myUserFunction(theFunction = AvailableFunctions.OptionA):
   #Type Check
   assert isinstance(theFunction,AvailableFunctions) 

   #Execute the actual function held as value in the enum or equivalent
   return theFunction.value()

Your guess is wrong . Values ​​can be arbitrary; they are not limited to integers. From the documentation :
