How To Install python3-multipledispatch on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-multipledispatch
on Debian 12.
What is python3-multipledispatch
python3-multipledispatch is:
This implementation of multiple dispatch is efficient, mostly complete, performs static analysis to avoid conflicts, and provides optional namespace support. It looks good too.
What this does:
- Dispatches on all non-keyword arguments
- Supports inheritance
- Supports instance methods
- Supports union types, e.g. (int, float)
- Supports builtin abstract classes, e.g. Iterator, Number, …
- Caches for fast repeated lookup
- Identifies possible ambiguities at function definition time
- Provides hints to resolve ambiguities when they occur
- Supports namespaces with optional keyword arguments
- Supports variadic dispatch
What this doesn’t do:
- Diagonal dispatch
- Efficient update: The addition of a new signature requires a full resolve of the whole function. This becomes troublesome after you get to a few hundred type signatures.
This package contains the Python 3.x version of multipledispatch.
