    <p>Python does support "method overloading" as you present it. In fact, what you just describe is trivial to implement in Python, in so many different ways, but I would go with:</p> <pre><code>class Character(object): # your character __init__ and other methods go here def add_bullet(self, sprite=default, start=default, direction=default, speed=default, accel=default, curve=default): # do stuff with your arguments </code></pre> <p>In the above code, <code>default</code> is a plausible default value for those arguments, or <code>None</code>. You can then call the method with only the arguments you are interested in, and Python will use the default values. </p> <p>You could also do something like this:</p> <pre><code>class Character(object): # your character __init__ and other methods go here def add_bullet(self, **kwargs): # here you can unpack kwargs as (key, values) and # do stuff with them, and use some global dictionary # to provide default values and ensure that ``key`` # is a valid argument... # do stuff with your arguments </code></pre> <p>Another alternative is to directly hook the desired function directly to the class or instance:</p> <pre><code>def some_implementation(self, arg1, arg2, arg3): # implementation my_class.add_bullet = some_implementation_of_add_bullet </code></pre> <p>Yet another way is to use an abstract factory pattern:</p> <pre><code>class Character(object): def __init__(self, bfactory, *args, **kwargs): self.bfactory = bfactory def add_bullet(self): sprite = self.bfactory.sprite() speed = self.bfactory.speed() # do stuff with your sprite and speed class pretty_and_fast_factory(object): def sprite(self): return pretty_sprite def speed(self): return 10000000000.0 my_character = Character(pretty_and_fast_factory(), a1, a2, kw1=v1, kw2=v2) my_character.add_bullet() # uses pretty_and_fast_factory # now, if you have another factory called "ugly_and_slow_factory" # you can change it at runtime in python by issuing my_character.bfactory = ugly_and_slow_factory() # In the last example you can see abstract factory and "method # overloading" (as you call it) in action </code></pre>

    1. COAll these look as examples of variable arguments, rather than overloading. Since overloading allows you to have the same function, for different types as arguments. eg: sum(real_num1, real_num2) and sum(imaginary_num1, imaginary_num2) Will both have same calling syntax, but are actually expecting 2 different types as input, and the implementation has to change also internally

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
