BTW, I do a quick test on the C version(supposed to be faster) and found something interesting: Your partial implementation is slower than new.instancemethod(func, arg, object), may be you would like to have some micro optimization to use that instead for the special case(and I believe over 70% of the case) of : partial(func, arg) Another thing I am wondering is if a compose_m(which means f(*g(*arg,**kw)) ) is desirable as that would give me a choice if I want to expand the result of g(if it is a tuple) to multi-argument rather than single tuple. This is not a problem in Haskell which is fully curried but python in general is not. Another option may be a helper function like unpack in lua. So I can do compose(compose(f, unpack), g) which means f(unpack(g(*arg,**kw))). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
