Python Closure + Oop

I'm trying to do something a bit strange (at least to me) with python closure. Say I have 2 classes like this: #!/usr/bin/python import types def method_a(self): print 'ma %d'

Solution 1:

Give the inner self another name:

deffoo(self, a):
    defclosuer(b):
        print"closure %d, %d" % (self.val, a)
    return closuer

Also, rather then using types.MethodType, you might want to use functools.partial
