Curt McDowell added the comment: There are use cases for this. I hit the problem and eventually wound up here, so I'd like to make a case to re-open.
My project has a callback registry of asyncio handler routines. register_callback(condition1, handler1) register_callback(condition2, handler2) ... I want to register many callbacks, but use only one handler and an argument to differentiate it. I realize our callback systems should provide for a cookie, but it doesn't. register_callback(condition1, functools.partial(handler, 'detail1')) register_callback(condition2, functools.partial(handler, 'detail2')) The callback registry makes sure iscoroutinefunction(handler) because we don't want to defer error checking to the distant future. But iscoroutinefunction() returns False for the partial function. I was hopeful that this might work, but alas, no: register_callback(condition1, asyncio.coroutine(functools.partial(handler, 'detail1'))) ---------- nosy: +curtmcd _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23519> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
