I am not sure if this is the right way to do it but IMHO it would be great to
have a function decorator/transformer to make functions partial applicable
using functools.partial. Like
from functools import partial
class partial_applicable():
	def __call__(self, func):
		def __wrapper(*args, **kvargs):
			try:
				return func(*args, **kvargs)
			except TypeError:
				return partial(func, *args, **kvargs)
		return __wrapper
Then you could do like:
@partial_applicable()
def substract(left, right):
	return left - right
substract(10, 100) 
 => -90
rclose = substract(right = 1000)
 => rclose(10) => -990
lclose = substract(1)
 => lclose(10) => -9
What do you think?

Or maybe even
class partial_applicable():
	def __call__(self, func):
		def __wrapper(*args, **kvargs):
			try:
				return func(*args, **kvargs)
			except TypeError:
				partial_func = partial(func, *args, **kvargs)
				return partial_applicable()(partial_func)
		return __wrapper

YAGNI, is what I think. Or if you do need it, put it in your application. (To tell you the truth, it just looks confusing to me...it strikes me as too magical.)
Regardless, this is more of a python-ideas kind of issue, so I suggest raising it there if you want to pursue it.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for your suggestion, even though I'm rejecting the suggestion as a bug tracker issue. (I should have said that at the start of my answer.)
