[Python-Dev] functools.compose to chain functions together (original) (raw)

The reason I came across the old patch was because I was searching for something that did exactly what compose does. That is to say, I had a use case that was compelling enough that I thought there should be something in functools to do what I wanted. I've encountered this pattern often enough that it might be in the stdlib.

Can you kindly give one or two examples of where compose would have been useful?

Regards, Martin
