My opinion is that supporting `GenericAlias` here would be a bad idea. Associating an implementation of the function with the argument type `list[str]` is ambiguous. Would this implementation be called if any argument of type `list` was supplied, or would it only be called if all elements in the list were of type `str`? The first option would be efficient, simple, and similar to the way singledispatch treats most other argument-types. However, it would be unintuitive. The second option would be more intuitive, but could be extremely inefficient if a very long list was passed in. It would also make the code more complicated. ---------- nosy: +AlexWaygood, lukasz.langa _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46032> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
