Multidispatching mechanisms for functions and methods (latter is not implemented yet).
Registries with different and user-defined lookup strategies.
Event system (not implemented).
Its development takes place at http://github.com/andreypopp.

Generic library provides way to define function with multidispatching feature:
from generic.multidispatching import multifunction
@multifunction(int, int)
def add(x, y):
return x + y
@add.when(str, str)
def add(x, y):
return add(int(x), int(y))
And then in console:
>>> add(1, 2)
