strongtyping-pyoverload 0.1.0

A Runtime method overload decorator.

pyoverload

A Runtime method overload decorator which should behave like a compiled language

• there is a override decorator from typing which works only for static type checking
• this decorator works on runtime

Example

from typing import List

from pyoverload.class_tools import overload


class Example:
    @overload
    def my_func(self):
        """
        Base information about the func

        return 0

    @overload
    def my_func(self, a: int, b: int):
        """

        :param a:
        :param b:

Do I need to add a type hint for each parameter??

• the is answer no you only need to have one typed parameter which differ

from pyoverload import overload


class Other:

    @overload
    def other_func(self, a: int, b):
        return (a + b) * (a + b)

    @overload
    def other_func(self, a: str, b):
        return f'{a.lower()}_{b.lower()}'

    @overload
    def other_func(self, a: list, b):
        return len(a) * b


>>> other = Other()
>>> other.other_func("Hello", "World")
hello_world
>>> other.other_func(2, 2)
16
>>> other.other_func([1, 2, 3], 2)
6

• or have a different length for your parameters
