Very Concise and good usage of functools partial

Note: Here, <pre class='brush: python'>max</pre> would be enough by itself (because isoformat is sortable by design), but it would be easy to change this solution to consider other datetime formats, something like: <pre class='brush: python'>get_latest = functools.partial(max, key=lambda s: datetime.datetime.strptime(s, '%H:%M %d/%m/%Y')) </pre>

I myself have only compared using <pre class='brush: python'>inline-if in combination with ></pre>, as I was lazy. But I like and prefer your solution because it is easy to adapt to more exotic date formats. Thanks for sharing.
