You probably want something like overload/multiple dispatch. I quick search
on PyPI yields a 'multipledispatch' package.
I never used, however.

I have a function that I use to retrieve daily data from a

After using it (and its friends) for a few years, I've come to
realize that there are times where it would be advantageous to
invoke it with a datetime.date as its single argument.
You could just use all keyword args:
def TempsOneDay(**kwargs):
if 'date' in kwargs:
handle_datetime(kwargs['date'])
elif 'year' in kwargs and 'month' in kwargs and 'day' in kwargs:
handle_args(kwargs['year'], kwargs['month'], kwargs['day'])
else:
raise Exception("Bad keyword args")
TempsOneDay(date=datetime.datetime.now)
TempsOneDay(year=2022, month=11, day=30)
