Should pydoc treat a partial object like a function?
Should a partial be an instance of a function?
Should we be able to add all the nice things that functions have to it?
If we want that, should we simply instantiate a function the normal way, with a new function definition? That is, instead of this:
>>> from functools import partial
>>> basetwo = partial(int, base=2)
>>> basetwo.__doc__ = 'convert base 2 string to int'
do this:
def basetwo(string:str) -> int:
 'convert base 2 string to int'
 return int(string, base=2)
Otherwise, either the partial definition or pydoc needs some work.
(Cheers and bump!)
