Summary: functools.compose to chain functions together
Initial Comment:
The motivation for this patch was to be able to chain together
operator.itemgetter objects so that I could sort a list of items that have the
form ((a,b), c) by the 'a' or 'b' part of the item.
Sorting by 'b' can be accomplished with:
l.sort(key=compose(itemgetter(1), itemgetter(0)))
compose(itemgetter(1), itemgetter(0)) is equivalent to
def c(v):
return itemgetter(1)(itemgetter(0)(v))

The patch looks good, is complete (one nit, "Returns" should be "Return"
in the doc) and the functionality belongs into functools.
What do you think, Martin?
