# Python 2.5 has support for partial function evaluation in the functools module.
# Here's is something I hacked out to do the same in Python 2.4

# This is not as complete as the wrapper in Python 2.5:
# it doesn't attempt to preserve doc strings, etc. But it should work just fine for most cases.
# Be warned however that it doesn't know how many parameters the function being decorated
# is supposed to take so if you end up passing it more than necessary you'll never a result.
# Also if your function raises a TypeError for other reasons it won't work as well.

# If you have any suggestions or improvements you'd like to share post them below.
