Hi,
I find 'functools.partial' useful, but occasionally I'm unable to use it because it lacks a 'from the right' version.

For me, the main objection to a partial that places its stored positional arguments from the right is that you don't know which positions those arguments will actually occupy until the partial is called.
Who really thinks that would be a neat feature? There's probably a reason why Haskell doesn't do this...
