xoutil.future.functools
This module extends the standard library's functools. You may use it as a drop-in replacement in many cases.
Avoid importing * from this module since could be different in Python 2.7 and Python 3.3.
We added the following features.
ctuple
compose(*funcs, math=True)
power(*funcs, times)
lwraps(f, n, *, name=None, doc=None, wrapped=None)
curry
We have backported several Python 3.3 features but maybe not all.
update_wrapper(wrapper, wrapped, assigned=WRAPPER_ASSIGNMENTS, updated=WRAPPER_UPDATES)
Update a wrapper function to look like the wrapped function. The optional arguments are tuples to specify which attributes of the original function are assigned directly to the matching attributes on the wrapper function and which attributes of the wrapper function are updated with the corresponding attributes from the original function. The default values for these arguments are the module level constants WRAPPER_ASSIGNMENTS (which assigns to the wrapper function's __name__, __module__, __annotations__ and __doc__, the documentation string) and WRAPPER_UPDATES (which updates the wrapper function's __dict__, i.e. the instance dictionary).
To allow access to the original function for introspection and other purposes (e.g. bypassing a caching decorator such as lru_cache), this function automatically adds a __wrapped__ attribute to the wrapper that refers to the original function.
The main intended use for this function is in decorator functions which wrap the decorated function and return the wrapper. If the wrapper function is not updated, the metadata of the returned function will reflect the wrapper definition rather than the original function definition, which is typically less than helpful.
update_wrapper may be used with callables other than functions. Any attributes named in assigned or updated that are missing from the object being wrapped are ignored (i.e. this function will not attempt to set them on the wrapper function). AttributeError is still raised if the wrapper function itself is missing any attributes named in updated.
