New submission from Tobias Pleyer <tobi.ple...@gmail.com>:
The partial function is a typical example of a higher order function: It takes a function as argument and returns a function. As the name of the functools module suggests its purpose is to provide tools for working with functions. This should, in my opinion, include a much bigger set of higher order function combinators as they are known from functional programming. As a start I suggest to add the following functions: identity: The identity function which returns its input compose: Create a function pipeline (threaded computation) sequence: Use compose without binding it to a variable ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 334536 nosy: tpleyer priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Extend the functools module with more higher order function combinators type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35853> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
