Emanuel Barry added the comment: Serhiy, it seems as though _functools is always required for functools to work - heck, tests start to fail all over the place if it isn't available, because functools.reduce doesn't exist.
Subclassing _functools.partial is already tested for, so I wouldn't qualify it as an implementation detail myself. Moreover, I feel that we should try to (somewhat) keep both implementations identical - or close enough. It seems that _pickle checks for _functools.partial, and that trying to pickle the pure Python version triggers the error in msg266530. This probably doesn't matter for most (if not all) of cases where CPython is concerned. But I care about the ability for alternate implementations to work the same way. Compromise: rename the current partial function to partial_func and keep it around ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27137> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
