Have any of the original objections to Calvin's patch (http://bugs.python.org/issue1706256) been addressed? If not, I don't see anything in these threads that justify resurrecting it. I still haven't seen any real code presented that would benefit from partial.skip or partialright. The arguments for and against the patch could be brought against partial() itself, so I don't understand the -1's at all.

Quite so, but that doesn't justify adding more capabilities to partial().
