Python 3.4 single dispatch, a step into generic functions

This article explores Python 3.4's implementation of single dispatch generic functions as described in PEP 443. It draws a direct comparison to generic methods in Common Lisp's CLOS, using a detailed example of a 'play' function for a drum kit to illustrate how dispatch works based on argument types, highlighting differences from traditional Python object-oriented programming.
