[Python-ideas] RFC: Multiple Dispatch

[Matthew Rocklin]

Hi all,

I curate the multipledispatch library on PyPI.  I believe that it is a
natural continuation of singledispatch outlined in PEP 443 and included in
functools 3.4.

For those unaware, dispatching correctly and unambiguously on multiple
inputs is a somewhat more complex problem than on a single input.  I
believe the approach taken in multipledispatch is fairly robust.

I wrote a blogpost about MD a while ago:
http://matthewrocklin.com/blog/work/2014/02/25/Multiple-Dispatch/

The docs pages live here:
http://multiple-dispatch.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

And the github page lives here:
https://github.com/mrocklin/multipledispatch

Recommendations for improvement welcome.  Thoughts on whether or not this
is appropriate to include in the standard library also welcome.

Best,
-Matthew Rocklin
