I have two files in a library I am creating: file1.py def func1(a, b): c = a + b return c file2.py def func2(a, b): c = a - b return c Now I want each file to have a function that takes the function from that file as an argument, but otherwise does the same thing. So a function like: def new_func(f, x, y, z): return f(x, y) * z Since I don't want to repeat myself, I would prefer to define this function in a separate file, then use some sort of function inheritance that creates a partial function with the first argument set to the func at the beginning of that file. So users can access new_func using file1.new_func(x, y, z) and file2.new_func(x, y, z). For context, I have many new_funcs I want to add to about a handful of files. Each would take in the func at the beginning of the file as a fixed argument, so essentially a partial function. But beyond that, they would all do the same thing with that func. Is this possible using the functional programming paradigm? I have Googled like crazy about function inheritance, partial functions and decorators (as I thought that might help), but have so far found nothing like what I am attempting to do.
