You can't pass run() arguments.

You can, however, use instance variables since Reader is an object:

class Reader(threading.Thread):
        def __init__(self, conn):
                threading.Thread.__init__(self)  # no need for extra args
                self.conn = conn

        def run(self):
                while 1:
                        data = self.conn.recv(1024)
                        print data
