implicit overload stubs¶

a run of two or more consecutive bodyless defs with the same name is recognized as an overload group. basedpython injects the @overload decorator and a : ... body on each stub:

def parse(s: str) -> int
def parse(s: bytes) -> int
def parse(s):
    return int(s)

transpiles to:

from typing import overload

@overload
def parse(s: str) -> int: ...
@overload
def parse(s: bytes) -> int: ...
def parse(s):
    return int(s)

scope¶

works at module, class body, or nested function scope. modifiers on the implementation (e.g. final def f(...)) are preserved when the stub group above it is decorated
