[Python-ideas] Make partial a built-in

[Steven D'Aprano]

Folks,


There are pros and cons of partial over lambda over classes, and which 
you prefer may be at least in part a matter of subjective taste. But 
Guido has spoken that he is virulently against making partial a builtin. 
It really isn't hard to put "from functools import partial" at the top 
of your modules. Can we let this thread die a natural death now please?
