I don't think this is a complete solution, but it might get you a bit
closer.

    import functools
    import math

    def party(func, *args, **kwargs):
        d = {'__name__': func.__name__,
             '__doc__': func.__doc__,}
        partial = type('partial', (functools.partial,), d)
        foo = partial(func, *args, **kwargs)
        return foo

    exp = party(pow, math.e)
    help(exp)
