Nick> a) functools.partial isn't that hard to use
Never heard of it and I've been writing Python since the mid-90's. The
point is that not everybody dreams in a functional programming style.

That's a possibility, though I'm still inclined to think returning an
ever-increasing int (which is already available as the index into the array)
is cleaner and would be microscopically more efficient) is the way to go.
In the no-arg case you'd just return the function which was passed in. Is
creating and returning a closure going to be a challenge for Jython or
IronPython?
Changing the focus of this thread a bit, this all seems to be getting a bit
baroque. Maybe we should back up and ask why atexit needed to be recast in
C in the first place. Can someone enlighten me? At some level it seems
more like gratuitous bug insertion than a true necessity.
