Catching outputs from functions called in vizact.ontimer()

How can I capture the outputs from a function called using the vizact.ontimer() function? I understand that I need to define the name of the function I want to call, and pass any arguments in to the function following that; eg:

Code:
vizact.ontimer(0,myFunction,input)
...But I don't know how to get the outputs of myFunction. How do I do this?

Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish with a timer function and the output you're expecting?

At every screen refresh, I need to manipulate a quad based on the position of a couple of trackable (from motion capture) rigid bodies. I need to pass some variables back into 'myFunction' that are output from 'myFunction' on each occurrence. These are a few ints and bools.

I'd recommend creating a class to update the quad and to store variables from each update. Here is a simple outline of what I am referring to:
Code:
import vizact

class QuadManipulator(object):
	def __init__(self, input):

		# Save input
		self.input = input

		# Initialize variables here
		self.some_int = 0
		self.some_bool = False

		# Call our method every frame
		vizact.ontimer(0, self.myFunction)

	def myFunction(self):

		# Compute some stuff and update quad

		# Update some variables
		self.some_int = 2
		self.some_bool = True

# Create instance of our class
q = QuadManipulator('input')
