Brian,
I think in the OO world it is called Polymorphism, where you have a single
function name, but multiple definitions that are distinguished from one
another by the number of arguments, type of arguments, and sometimes (
Smalltalk ) the r

Nope, its called overloading. Polymorphism is where you
send the same message to diferent types of object and
get different behaviour.

Hi John,
In general, Python doesn't support "overloading". Overloading wouldn't
interact well at all with functions that can take a variable number of
arguments.
That being said,

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Could be me, or could be the
question. :-)

Not directly (well, not that I know of). But you can always emulate it.
eg:
class Foo(object):
def __init__(self, init, *args, **kw):
if init == 'this':
self._initThis(*args, **kw)
elif ini
I have a couple of questions:

Secondly, I cannot remember how to make it so that when you start typing in
a defined function name, it pops up a tooltip showing the functions syntax.
ex: def delRecord( some params ):
