The problem with "batteries included" is that what exactly is a battery is hard to define, and everyone has a different opinion about it. It's my observation that in recent (~10?) years, the core devs are pretty carfeul about including anything new in teh stdlib -- it has its upsides, for sure, bu

Thanks for the reference, Lucas. I wasn't familiar with toolz and it looks similar to a package I'm contributing to with a similar purpose of filling holes in the standard library, as such shouldn't some of this stuff be targeted for integration? I'm a bit dubious about the pypi suggestion as pac

[Python-ideas] Re: @lazy decorator an alternative to functools.partial ?

Seems fine, but a pypi library seems better than the standard library. Separately, I think this is usually called "currying", and there are already libraries which implement this functionality, eg toolz: https://toolz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/curry.html Best wishes, Lucas Wiman ___
