Call multimethod on a variable number of types. It returns a decorator which finds the multimethod of the same name, creating it if necessary, and adds that function to it.
@multimethod(*types)
def func(*args):
passfunc is now a multimethod which will delegate to the above function, when called with arguments of the specified types. If an exact match can’t be found, the next closest method is called (and cached).
If strict mode is enabled, and there are multiple candidate methods, a TypeError is raised. A function can have more than one multimethod decorator. Keyword arguments can be used when calling, but won’t affect the dispatching.
The functools.singledispatch style syntax introduced in Python 3.4 is also supported.
@multidispatch
def func(*args):
pass
@func.register(*types)
def _(*args):
passSee tests for more example usage.
