I must admit I am a bit partial to partial, you can do fun things like this:

>>> from functools import partial

>>> @partial(partial, partial)

... def add(x, y):

...     return x+y

...

>>> add(3)(4)

7

I suppose that isn't exactly going to convince Guide to put it in builtins, though.

I find myself "partializing" in ways partial() doesn't support more often than not. E.g.

lambda first, third: myfunc(first, 42, third)

I think it's good to have partial() in functools, but it's two orders of magnitude less common than things that should be in builtins.
