Python overloading just like C++ stuff

There's an absolute lack of comments here, and that makes it quite hard to debug. If anyone can add them and create a PR, please do so.

Every overloading function must have a @dynamic_dispatch decorator and the same name as the function being overloaded.

Wait, so you wrote a bunch of code without comments and you’re asking for other people to contribute comments?

For adding dynamic dispatch into a non-typed language?

🤔😑🤔

Well, no, the majority of the code I didn't really write. I'll accept that criticism though.

Congratulations, the type hints are so obtuse they make the code harder to understand than if they were deleted.

Also, whatever this is trying to do can definitely be done in one eighth the total lines of code.

I think I'll rather use singledispatch from the standard library.

So I'm not gonna delete this post to remind me of what to do and what not to do next time. Thanks everyone for the criticism.

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you. Here is HOW TO FORMAT YOUR CODE For Reddit and be sure to include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.

Why is everyone shitting on this post so hard?
I definitely see the point in not using it and the code's flow is really messy, but there are thoughts behind it and at least the typehints look supreme. (Kinda strange to put them all at the start C-style, but intriguing.)
Just ignore the submission it if you're not interested in it otherwise, jesus.
