Oh, sorry, wrong PR number. the right one: PR23405

> _pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <class 'functools.partial'>: it's not the same object as functools.partial

I don't understand this error. It looks like a bug in functools.

The PR 23407 looks like a workaround rather than a fix.

You should analyze why "cls != obj" conditon is true: why cls is not obj?

You are right. I am in the wrong way definitely. It's weird to me.I try to figure it out in this week~

It looks like you imported the functools module twice and have two different classes functools.partial. When you try to import one of them, you found the other one.

You are right. Serhiy:)

The key point is `import_helper.import_fresh_module()`.
```
import functools
from test.support import import_helper

partial = functools.partial
new_functools = import_helper.import_fresh_module('functools',
                                                  fresh=['_functools'])
new_partial = new_functools.partial
assert(partial == new_partial)
```
Succeed in master, failed in PR23405.

I updated the test_functools.py in PR23405, the CI have all passed.

Does it mean that this issue is invalid and can be closed?

I think it's can be closed if I can update test_functools.py in PR23405 :)
