Question

functools.wraps is not available in python 2.4.Is there any other module which can be used instead of this in python 2.4?

Answer 1

You can copy the functools code from Python2.5 and have it work in Python2.4 with only minor changes (substitute a lambda for the partial): http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/b48e1b48e670/Lib/functools.py#l15

Here’s a simple replacement for partial:

def partial(func, *args, **kwds):
    "Emulate Python2.6's functools.partial"
    return lambda *fargs, **fkwds: func(*(args+fargs), **dict(kwds, **fkwds))
