That makes me think - it seems odd to me that PEP 484 doesn't even mention function overloading (even to say that it's outside the scope). I think overloading should certainly be considered, and unless the consensus is that it is something that should never happen, it should either be explicitly allowed or at least the type-hinting syntax should be checked to ensure it is forward-compatible with it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
