overloading is a module that provides function and method dispatching based on the types and number of runtime arguments.
When an overloaded function is invoked, the dispatcher compares the supplied arguments to available signatures and calls the implementation providing the most accurate match:
@overload
def biggest(items: Iterable[int]):
return max(items)
@overload
def biggest(items: Iterable[str]):
return max(items, key=len)>>> biggest([2, 0, 15, 8, 7])
15
>>> biggest(['a', 'abc', 'bc'])
'abc'Features
Function validation during registration and comprehensive resolution rules guarantee a well-defined outcome at invocation time.
Supports the typing module introduced in Python 3.5.
Supports optional parameters.
Supports variadic signatures (*args and **kwargs).
Supports class-/staticmethods.
Evaluates both positional and keyword arguments.
No dependencies beyond the standard library
