[Python] Passing a list of senders to the sender parameter of @receiver decorator

So at the moment, I'm working on my Django project and I have a signal receiver function that looks like this:

@receiver(pre_save, sender=Task, dispatch_uid='core.models.task_handler_pre_1')
@receiver(pre_save, sender=TaskHistory, dispatch_uid='core.models.task_handler_pre_2')
@receiver(pre_save, sender=TaskUser, dispatch_uid='core.models.task_handler_pre_3')
def task_handler_pre(sender, instance, **kwargs):
# do some stuff


In an attempt to make the code look cleaner, I was wondering whether would it be possible to do something like this:

@receiver(pre_save, sender=[Task, TaskHistory, TaskUser], dispatch_uid='core.models.task_handler_pre')
def task_handler_pre(sender, instance, **kwargs):
# do some stuff


i.e. Does the sender parameter accepts a list of senders as a valid argument ? If not, then does the value of the dispatch_uid parameter within the @receiver decorator, have to be different for each individual sender, or can it be the same i.e.

As mentioned previously, my receiver function looks like this at the moment:

@receiver(pre_save, sender=Task, dispatch_uid='core.models.task_handler_pre_1')
@receiver(pre_save, sender=TaskHistory, dispatch_uid='core.models.task_handler_pre_2')
@receiver(pre_save, sender=TaskUser, dispatch_uid='core.models.task_handler_pre_3')
def task_handler_pre(sender, instance, **kwargs):
# do some stuff


What difference would it make if I make the following change:

@receiver(pre_save, sender=Task, dispatch_uid='core.models.task_handler_pre')
@receiver(pre_save, sender=TaskHistory, dispatch_uid='core.models.task_handler_pre')
@receiver(pre_save, sender=TaskUser, dispatch_uid='core.models.task_handler_pre')
def task_handler_pre(sender, instance, **kwargs):
# do some stuff


i.e. make the value of the dispatch_uid parameter the same ( core.models.task_handler_pre ) for each individual sender. Thanks!
