I'm not sure that partial classes were ever really meant as anything other than a useful feature for code-generating IDEs. But if you think that's weird, read up on C# extension methods, which are how users of your classes can add their own methods to them. True, this is also possible in Python but requires monkey-patching which is rightfully frowned upon. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
