python 泛型_Python和泛型编程

Hi,

I wonder, does Python support generic programming paradigm, and to what extent

(I guess, it doesn''t do it in full)? And (or) does it move in that direction?

Will we ever see

concept WellAlright:

...

constructs in Python?

Isn''t it right time to reserve "concept" as a keyword ;-)

Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi

It appears to me to support generics at least as well as C++ does. I

just write normal code (no typechecks) and voila, the equivalent of C++

templates (at least). What do you think is missing?

How about specialization? I''m relatively new to Python. I ask for

information, not to be argumentative.

If you have, for example, several data-types for matrices, how do you

write code that will automatically find the right routine for quickly

multiplying a vector by a diagonal matrix represented as a vector, and

automatically call the right code for multiplying by a sparse matrix

represented by some sparse coding, etc?
