Is function overloading not possible in Python?

Question

def my_func():
print("spam")
print("spam")
print("spam")
def my_add(a,b):
print(a+b)
def my_func(a,b):
print(a*b)
my_add(10,20)
my_func(2,5)
my_func()

Answer 1

It is *possible* and... meaningless at the same time :) Since Python is a dynamically-typed language, it can't be done like in the strict/strong-typed ones.
There are workarounds like checking the type inside a function or using @decorators, but in most of the cases - it's not the way it's done.
