singledispatch-method (PLE1519)#
Derived from the Pylint linter.
Fix is sometimes available.
This rule is unstable and in preview. The --preview
flag is required for use.
What it does#
Checks for methods decorated with @singledispatch
.
Why is this bad?#
The @singledispatch
decorator is intended for use with functions, not methods.
Instead, use the @singledispatchmethod
decorator, or migrate the method to a
standalone function.
Example#
Use instead:
from functools import singledispatchmethod
class Class:
@singledispatchmethod
def method(self, arg):
...
Fix safety#
This rule's fix is marked as unsafe, as migrating from @singledispatch
to
@singledispatchmethod
may change the behavior of the code.
