my Analysis:

def curry(update_wrapper, *args, **kwargs):
    def _curried(*wrapper, **morekwargs):
        return update_wrapper(wrapper,{wrapped:func})#this is the result
    return _curried
def update_wrapper(wrapper,wrapped)

def wraps(func):
    return curry(u开发者_运维技巧pdate_wrapper, wrapped=func)

wraps(func)(wrapper)

Your code (in x+y, where x is a and y is b) is trying to sum two functions (instead of calling them and summing their results, for example): function objects cannot be summed, so your code raises an exeption.

The code you quote, in args+moreargs, is summing two tuples: tuples can of course perfectly well be summed, it means concatenating them. Absolutely no relation whatsoever to the absurd "sum of two functions" your code is attempting.
