The syntax you have there will call myfunction when you are inserting the
items into the popup. You want the following:

MyPopup = QPopupMenu(self.win.lstSearch, "Popup")
MyPopup.insertItem( "Function 1", self.myfunction)
MyPopup.insertItem( "Funciton 2", self.myfunction2)
MyPopup.popup(QCursor.pos())

Note the lack of () after self.myfunction and self.myfunction2. Without the
() they refer to the functions' _object_ (functions are code objects in
python) and passes that function object to the popup item as the action.
