The original intent was that the functional module become the home of typical utilities for functional style programming. partial was there were patches (such as 1412451) providing quite a few additional tools and improved documentation on the more functional builtins (such as map and reduce). That particular patch was closed to spend time as an independent module first, but there is a fair chance that parts of it will eventually be added. (OTOH, it might be just a few parts which fit well under functools, rather tha just "functional") -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
