Mailman 3 Re: [Python-ideas] Syntactic sugar to declare partial functions - Python-ideas

9 Aug 2018

      I'd rather have functools.partial() to be added as a new method on
function objects.
...
fromfunctools importpartial
def add(x:int,y:int)->int:
    returnx +y
add_2 = partial(add,2)
Would become:

add_2 = add.partial(2)

Nothing to change on the parser, no obscure syntax for future readers,
and we can get the opportunity of rewriting partial() in C as right now
it is amazingly way, way slower than a lambda.
