Submodules

src.multimethod.multimethod module

class src.multimethod.multimethod.Function(fn)

Bases: object

Function is a wrap over standard python function

An instance of this Function class is also callable just like the python function that it wrapped. When the instance is “called” like a function it fetches the function to be invoked from the virtual namespace and then invokes the same.

key(args=None)

Returns the key that will uniquely identifies a function (even when it is overloaded).

class src.multimethod.multimethod.Namespace

Bases: object

Namespace is the singleton class that is responsible for holding all the functions.

get(fn, *args)

get returns the matching function from the virtual namespace.

return None if it did not fund any matching function.

static get_instance()

register(fn)

registers the function in the virtual namespace and returns an instance of callable Function that wraps the function fn.

src.multimethod.multimethod.multimethod(fn)

overload is the decorator that wraps the function and returns a callable object of type Function.
