Adding a delegates decorator to a method prevents TypeDispatch from creating the correct dispatching table.

Without delegates, the dispatch for TensorAudio.create is correct:

class TensorAudio(TensorBase): @classmethod def create(cls, fn:str|Path, **kwargs): sig, sr = torchaudio.load(fn, **kwargs) return cls(sig, sr=sr)

TypeDispatch(TensorAudio.create) returns

(str,object) -> create (Path,object) -> create 

But with delegates, TypeDispatch doesn't create the correct dispatch table:

class TensorAudio(TensorBase): @delegates(torchaudio.load) @classmethod def create(cls, fn:str|Path, **kwargs): sig, sr = torchaudio.load(fn, **kwargs) return cls(sig, sr=sr) TypeDispatch(TensorAudio.create)

Instead TypeDispatch(TensorAudio.create) returns:

(str,BinaryIO) -> create (str,str) -> create (str,PathLike) -> create (Path,BinaryIO) -> create (Path,str) -> create (Path,PathLike) -> create 

The BinaryIO, str, and PathLike in the type dispatch are from torchaudio.load. It's missing (str,object) and (Path,object). This incorrect dispatch prevents from TensorAudio.create dispatching in a fastai datablock.

Previous versions of fastcore did not have this interplay between delegates and TypeDispatch, but I am not sure when it cropped up.
