Perhaps you meant something different, but  C++ style generic (template)
programming is not necessary in Python.

With decorators, there is an easy method for generating per-argument
type checking and dispatch for functions and methods.

As Python does runtime type checking, if you care to support different
types of arguments even without decorators, one is able.
