Always makes me smile when (experienced) people redesign the wheel...

>From the docs (http://www.python.org/doc/2.6/library/functools.html):

"The partial() is used for partial function application which
“freezes” some portion of a function’s arguments and/or keywords
resulting in a new object with a simplified signature."
