@driscollis yet another thing in the #python standard library I've never seen or used. I wonder when one would use the functools.singledispatch over a set of if isinstance(..) elif isinstance(..)? The singledispatch feels like a bit of magic since going to the definition of the function does not show what it does and one has to go to Ctrl-F for all the @func.register's to find the implementation 🤔

🌠 I created a #GitHub repository with my #Python solutions for the #AdventOfCode puzzles

🧩 All solutions use only the #PythonStandardLibrary with no need for external packages

🔬 #Tests are included in function #docstrings and can be run using the #doctest module

⚠️ I don't think I will be able to enter the #solutions every day and definitely not in the morning

🐍 I participate in #AoC to #improve my Python #knowledge rather than to compete in the #leaderboard
