New submission from Glyph Lefkowitz <gl...@twistedmatrix.com>:
This example:
from __future__ import annotations
from functools import singledispatchmethod
class Comparable:
@singledispatchmethod
def compare(self, arg: object):
raise NotImplementedError("what")
@compare.register
def _(self, arg: Comparable):
return "somewhat similar"
print(Comparable().compare(Comparable()))
Produces this result:
File
"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/typing.py",
line 518, in _evaluate
eval(self.__forward_code__, globalns, localns),
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'Comparable' is not defined
It seems like perhaps singledispatchmethod should defer its type evaluation to
its first invocation?
