More intuitive partial function application in Python

I'm glad you like the recipe :-)

What if you have a function "f" that takes like 10 arguments and you need to pass it to a function "g" that expects as input a function takes 8 arguments.

  @partial
  def f(p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6, p7, p8, p9, p10):
     return "stuff"
  
  g(f(..., p4=1, p7=2))
  #  seems nicer than
  g(lambda p1, p2, p3, p5, p6, p8, p9, p10: f(p1, p2, p3, 1, p5, p6, 2, p8, p9, p10))

First mistake, making a function with 10 parameters.

We have data structures for that, if you need it. Just pass in a big struct/named tuple as one parameter. Bonus points if it is type hinted.
