Just one reply seems pretty weak of a push. However, you lose nothing by submitting it on the issue tracker: https://bugs.python.org

I don’t have a use case for this myself, but we’ll see :)

Subject: [Python-Dev] single dispatch for instance methods

Hi All,

It would be nice if the @singledispatch decorator worked on instance methods.

I have a reference implementation on pypi that does this (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/methoddispatch).

I posted this message to python ideas a month ago (https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2016-September/042466.html) and got 100% support from 1 response.  

Not sure if I should proceed with writing a PEP.

I am happy to do all the work if I know it will be accepted.

Cheers

Tim
