A simple suggestion: add "operator.call" and "operator.__call__", which would provide a function like Python2's "apply" (but it'd be called with already unpacked arguments, i.e. operator.call(f, *args, **kwargs)). Why? To be able to pass it as an argument to other function, just like the other functions defined in the "operator" module.
I think you want something like this? def call(callable, *args, **kwargs): return callable(*args, **kwargs) Can you give an example of how you might use this call method? It doesn't have to be a real world use-case, just an illustration. Perhaps I'm being a bit dim-witted today, but I'm having trouble thinking of where I would use this operator.call rather than just directly applying *args, **kwargs to the callable. -- Steven
