Took me a couple days to catch up on this thread so here is the link for any interested. Could it be possible to reevaluate this?

I am just replying to the end of this thread to throw in a reminder about my partial.skip patch, which allows the following usage:

splitone = partial(str.split, partial.skip, 1) Not looking to say "mine is better", but if the idea is being given merit, I like the skipping arguments method better than just the "right partial", which I think is confusing combined with keyword and optional arguments. And, this patch already exists. Could it be re-evaluated? +1 but I don't know where the patch is. -- Cheers, Leif
