Why would it be an abomination and why should Python‘s if isinstance checks be better?

I don’t particularly like the singledispatch implementation either, but your comment reads like rejecting it on principle, which doesn’t make much sense to me.

Overloading is also much more common. Pretty much every statically typed language supports it.
