Thanks for the idea, I can use this as a perverted example in my talk at Stanford tomorrow. Here it is:

Heh, cool!

import new

def curry(f, x, cls=None): return new.instancemethod(f, x)

Hmmm, what's the role of the ", cls=None" argument here...? I.e, couldn't just

curry = new.instancemethod

be equivalent?
