When adding a module like functools, it helps to let SVN know about the file.

+# Python module wrapper for _functools C module

+from _functools import partial
+__all__ = [

+# Still to come here (need to write tests and docs):
+#   update_wrapper - utility function to transfer basic function
+#                    metadata to wrapper functions
+#   WRAPPER_ASSIGNMENTS & WRAPPER_UPDATES - defaults args to above
+#           (update_wrapper has been approved by BDFL)
+#   wraps - decorator factory equivalent to:
+#               def wraps(f):
+#                     return partial(update_wrapper, wrapped=f)
+#
+# The wraps function makes it easy to avoid the bug that afflicts the
+# decorator example in the python-dev email proposing the
+# update_wrapper function:
