Python generic functions dispatching

Question

Is there are any way to dispatch a function which arguments may be:

• single lambda-function (i.e. func(lambda x: x))
• kwargs (i.e. func(a='some sting', b='some other string'))

As I see it, singledispatch decorator from functools only supports dispatching on the first argument, which in my case won't work. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

You are not missing anything. single dispatch won't solve your problem

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/multipledispatch

can help you with positional arguments but not keywords :(
