In fact, Guido's article is what inspired me to start this project in the first place. From a functional standpoint, my implementation differs from Guido's on the following points: 1) Parameters also match on subtypes, rather than only the exact type specified. 2) Support for keyword parameters. 3) Dispatch by value (currently quite rudimentary) There is a "Getting Started" page in the wiki (http:// pymultimethods.wiki.sourceforge.net/Getting+Started), which contains an example "Rock, Paper, Scissors" game that you can use to get started. There's also a rough tutorial at http://pymultimethods.wiki.sourceforge.net/Tutorial, which covers more features. I have many things planned for this project, one of which is submitting to PyPI, but I'd rather let it season a little first.
