Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Raymond, do we care whether or not the pure Python version of functools.partial supports inheritance and instance testing?
The constructor is technically documented as returning a "partial object" rather than a simple staticmethod instance with additional attributes. My own preference leans towards keeping the closure based implementation due to its simplicity, which is what makes it particularly useful as a cross-check on the C implementation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12428> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
