I suppose rusi means functools.partial:

  >>> from functools import partial
  >>> trip = lambda x,y,z: (x,y,z)
  >>> partial(trip,'a','b')('c')
  ('a', 'b', 'c')

It also supports keyword arguments.

Yes. I'm satisfied that Python does, but what can be seen as a
shortcoming in Haskell? Just curious.
