Using python 3.5
I have been experimenting with curried functions. A bit like in Haskell.
So I can write the following function:
def sum4(a, b, c, d):
return a + b + c + d
summing = curry(sum4)
print summing(1)(2)(3)(4) # this prints 10.
The problem is I need the signature of the original function in order to
know when to finally call the function and return the actual result.
However buildin functions don't have a
I believe most do.
Well I may have jumped to my conclusion, but those in operator don't seem
to have a signature.
inspect.signature(operator.mul)
By default, 'python', to me, refers to the current, most recent version,
now 3.8. As Peter Otten said, this now has a proper signature, added
with Argument Clinic.
I read 'buildin functions' as 'builtins functions', functions in the
builtins module, bound to '__builtins__' in the main module. Of the 69
functions listed in https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html,
43 have a proper signature (non-None __text_signature__) and 26 do not.
A majority if not 'most'.
For the alternate reading of 'built-in functions' (in the stdlib), the
ratio of conversions to a proper signature may be lower. The process is
on-going.
