<method-wrapper '__call__' of functools.partial object at 0x1356e10> is not a Python function

I am trying to create a function that I can use as a handler for the RxPy stream that I am viewing. The function that I have has access to the variable outside the scope where this variable is defined, which for me means that I need to use some kind of closure. So I went for functools.partial to close one variable and return a partial function that I can pass as an observer to my thread.

However, this leads to the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "retry/example.py", line 46, in <module>
    response_stream = message_stream.flat_map(functools.partial(message_handler, context=context))
  File "/home/justin/virtualenv/retry/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rx/linq/observable/selectmany.py", line 67, in select_many
    selector = adapt_call(selector)
  File "/home/justin/virtualenv/retry/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rx/internal/utils.py", line 37, in adapt_call_1
    argnames, varargs, kwargs = getargspec(func)[:3]
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/inspect.py", line 816, in getargspec
    raise TypeError('{!r} is not a Python function'.format(func))
TypeError: <method-wrapper '__call__' of functools.partial object at 0x2ce6cb0> is not a Python function

Here is sample code that reproduces the problem:

from __future__ import absolute_import
from rx import Observable, Observer
from pykafka import KafkaClient
from pykafka.common import OffsetType
import logging
import requests
import functools


logger = logging.basicConfig()


def puts(thing):
    print thing


def message_stream(consumer):
    def thing(observer):
        for message in consumer:
            observer.on_next(message)

    return Observable.create(thing)


def message_handler(message, context=None):
    def req():
        return requests.get('http://httpbin.org/get')

    return Observable.start(req)


def handle_response(message, response, context=None):
    consumer = context['consumer']
    producer = context['producer']
    t = 'even' if message % 2 == 0 else 'odd'
    return str(message) + ': ' + str(response) + ' - ' + t + ' | ' + str(consumer) + ' | ' + producer


consumer = ['pretend', 'these', 'are', 'kafka', 'messages']
producer = 'some producer'
context = {
    'consumer': consumer,
    'producer': producer
}
message_stream = message_stream(consumer)
response_stream = message_stream.flat_map(functools.partial(message_handler, context=context))
message_response_stream = message_stream.zip(response_stream, functools.partial(handle_response, context=context))
message_stream.subscribe(puts)

The problem is that my partial function returns Falsewhen called inspect.isfunction.
