init(self, operation, params)
(Constructor)*

source code


Construct an Overload

Parameters:
    
    `function`
        the operation to call when a call's args match the params

    `params` :: (Parameter...)
        sequence of parameters that args of calls should match. The
        overload will only match when all params are satisfied and no
        args are left.

Overrides: object.__init__

process_call(self, args, kwargs)

source code


Call the overload's operation with args if all args match.

Parameters:
    
    `args` :: (value...)
        positional arguments of the call

    `kwargs` :: {name::string : value}
        keyword arguments of the call

Returns (True, return_value) if the args matched, (False, None) otherwise

insert_params(self, index, *params)

source code


Insert parameters into the current list of parameters at index

Parameters:
    
    `index` :: number
        index of where to insert

    `params` :: (Parameter...)
        the parameters to insert
