Hello James,

There is no direct way to do what you want.  Here is an example of how 
to indirectly do it:

 >>> import threading
 >>> def foo(result):
...     [result.append(i) for i in range(4)]
...    
 >>> result = list()
 >>> thread = threading.Thread(target=foo, args=(result,))
 >>> thread.start()
 >>> result
[0, 1, 2, 3]
 >>>
