[issue11704] functools.partial doesn't create bound methods
New submission from Alex Gaynor alex.gay...@gmail.com: This is related to the discussion we had at the PyCon language summit about C vs Python function binding. If you create a partial instance and put it on a class it doesn't create bound instances. This behavior is a tad surprising in my view. At a minimum it'd be nice if the docs mentioned this. -- messages: 132425 nosy: alex priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: functools.partial doesn't create bound methods versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue11704 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Nick Coghlan ncogh...@gmail.com added the comment: True, this could be documented better - flagging as a docs bug. (It is mentioned at the bottom of http://docs.python.org/library/functools.html#partial-objects, but that could be referenced better from the main documentation of the function higher up in the page) There's actually more to it than just an oversight though - partial() fills in positional arguments from the left, so using one as a method would require specification of a carefully crafted selection of positional and keyword arguments to ensure the instance was bound and passed in at the right point. -- assignee: - docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, ncoghlan ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue11704 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

A note in the above section would be a useful addition. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue11704 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
