The initial suggestion was to provide a __get__ method on partial objects, which forces the insertion of the reference to self at the beginning of the argument list instead of at the end:
def __get__(self, obj, type=None): if obj is None: return self return partial(self.fn, obj, *self.args, **self.kw)
just a note:
I don't see why this is not also a possible definition:
return partial(self.fn, *(self.args+(obj,)), **self.kw)
it may be impractical, but it would implement the direct mechanics of partial should behave like a function.
It certainly *is* a possible definition, but you can get essentially that behaviour using new.instancemethod, so a new descriptor isn't necessary for that case.
The suggested descriptor was to get an alternate behaviour which injected the automatically supplied self argument at the start of the list of positional arguments.
Cheers, Nick.
