Thanks Ian, Benjamin, and Steven. I now know why it works as it does.
Thinking about it a little more, Is it reasonable to *expect* partial acts as it does, rather than this way being an implementation convenience? (That was written as a straight question not in any way as a dig). I had thought that partial had enough information to, and would in fact, remove named parameter f from the signature of fsf1 returning something that could be called that is the equivalent of: def fsf1_( s ): ... I accept that that is not done, but would welcome discussion on if my expectation above was reasonable. Thanks guys :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
