These definitions all define the same object. There is no function
overloading in Python. You can often fake it with suitable use of
default arguments. This looks likely here.
Another alternative is the generics implementation from pkgutil:
from pkgutil import simplegeneric
See the source code for details -- simplegeneric is public but undocumented.
From time to time people make noise about documenting it and moving it into
its own module, but this is volunteer-driven and it hasn't happened yet.
