Marko Nervo <ma...@python.it> added the comment: I totally disagree with the syntax for curried function, but I think a curry function is perfect for the functools module and I also think it could be useful at least as functools.partial. In addition, a lot of languages support currying, such as Haskell, Scala, Javascript...
However, here an example less confusional >>> adder = curry(lambda (x, y): (x + y)) >>> adder3 = adder(3) >>> adder3(4) 7 >>> adder3(5) 8 Currying let you defining new functions on other functions. This is a common practice in functional programming (point-free style). So, why not? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13430> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
