What other new modules do we have going in 2.5 that haven't found a home in the documentation yet? I seem to recall some discussion about a decorator library or functools or something of that sort.

The suggestion with functools was to rename functional.partial to functools.partial, and add a functools.decorator function.

The idea of the latter being that sticking @decorator on the front would be enough to make a decorator function well-behaved (and future-proof).

Cheers, Nick.
