pyoverload

name	pyoverload
description	Adds C++ like function overloading capacity to Python using a decorator.

pyoverload

strongtyping-pyoverload provides a decorator overload that allows defining multiple versions of a function or method with the same name but different type signatures.

Key Features

• Method Overloading: Define multiple methods with the same name in a class, distinguished by their parameter types and count.
• Module-level Overloading: Apply overloading to pure functions within a module.
• Multiple __init__: Support for multiple constructor definitions based on different input arguments.
• Inheritance Support: Subclasses can override overloaded methods, provided they match the original type definitions when intended.
• Default Case Support: Use *args and **kwargs to define fallback or default implementations.
• Minimal Type Hinting: Only one differing typed parameter or a different parameter length is needed to distinguish between overloads.

Usage Example

from strongtyping_pyoverload import overload

class Example:
    @overload
    def my_func(self):
        return 0

    @overload
    def my_func(self, a: int, b: int):
        return a * b

    @overload
    def my_func(self, a: str, b: str):
        return a + b
