I noticed that it doesn’t seem to be possible to decorate partial functions with ray.remote (at least in ray 1.6.0): import functools import ray ray.init() def foo(x, y): return x+y foo2 = ray.remote(foo) # this works result = ray.get([foo2.remote(x, y) f…

Hi @lebedov , Welcome! Try: ray.get([functools.partial(ray.remote(foo).remote, y=1)(x=x) for x in range(5)])

Thanks, @mannyv - that works! Still curious why partial functions are disallowed - looking through the code in worker.py and actor.py, it seems to be due to more than just simple type checking to exclude arguments that are not functions or classes…

Why can't ray.remote be used to decorate partial functions?
