<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578884 by <a href="/recipes/users/4174094/">Christoph Schueler</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/adapter/">adapter</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/namedtuple/">namedtuple</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/partial/">partial</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pattern/">pattern</a>). </p> <p>functools.partial could not only applied to functions it also works with classes. This opens some interesting perspectives, like on-the-fly creation of class adapters, as the following code illustrates.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577922 by <a href="/recipes/users/4179716/">Przemyslaw Podczasi</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/decorator/">decorator</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/partial/">partial</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>Working with Windows API which usually takes like a zillion for each function can be a little bit frustrating and if I want to only change two in the middle for each call I had to wrap everything into lambda functions which change arguments to the order that I need to use with partial.</p> <p>So finally I added kinda dangerous decorator which inserts keywords into right position if detected and was about to use it but ctypes functions don't accept keyword arguments :D so just ended up with decorator :)</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577452 by <a href="/recipes/users/4016391/">Daniel Miller</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/cache/">cache</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/functools/">functools</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/memoize/">memoize</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/partial/">partial</a>). </p> <p>A simple result-caching decorator for instance methods. NOTE: does not work with plain old non-instance-method functions. The cache is stored on the instance to prevent memory leaks caused by long-term caching beyond the life of the instance (almost all other recipes I found suffer from this problem when used with instance methods).</p>
