Hi All, functools.singledispatch does not work on methods. There are 2 packages that do this for methods one on GitHub only https://gist.github.com/adamnew123456/9218f99ba35da225ca11 and my pypi package https://pypi.org/project/methoddispatch/. There are also a couple of stack overflow posts about it ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24601722/how-can-i-use-functools-singledispatch-with-instance-methods , https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24063788/python3-singledispatch-in-class-how-to-dispatch-self-type/24064102 ) with about 60 votes between them.
Is it time to add singledispatch for methods to the core library? If so, would the methoddispatch implementation suffice or are there changes you would like made? Thanks for your time.
