Bottom of my message before, just type it in. (or go to ActiveState for
the class-based version).
The cookbook site:
    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/
The curry recipe:

Example of use in IDLE (followed by code):

 >>> from my_util import curry
 >>> def f(a,b,c): return a*b+c

 >>> g = curry(3)
 >>> assert g(2,1) == 7 == f(3,2,1)
 >>>
