Hi

I serached around the web and some tutorials but i can't finds any
documentation about function overloading in python.

I want to have 3 functions:
def setPos( x, y ):

def setPos( pos ):

def setPos( object ):

( pos and object are classes i wrote )

I wrote all these functions but only the one that is the least in the
code i used.
So i can't call setPos( 1,2 ), because def setPos( object ) is used.

Is it not possible in python to overload fucntion with the same name?
How do you do it?
