I've never used iminuit before. I'd ask on a support forum to see what
other people are doing. That said, if possible I'd use a closure like
Peter showed:

    def make_chisq_mn(x, y, dy):
        def chisq_mn(*args):
            return chisq(args, x, y, dy)
        return chisq_mn

Then combine that with the forced_parameters option that Peter
mentioned. This seems simplest to me.
