[Python-Dev] Boolean value of an Enum member

When Enum was being designed one of the questions considered was where to start autonumbering: zero or one. As I remember the discussion we chose not to start with zero because we didn't want an enum member to be False by default, and having a member with value 0 be True was discordant. So

Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-ideas] Boolean value of an Enum member

[Python-Dev] C struct for Str( )

Re: [Python-Dev] C struct for Str( )

I don't quite see what this has to do with has to do with the development of Python, Eddy. You can always reference the C API at https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/index.html . And `PyBytesObject` is an instance of `bytes` in Python. On Fri, 15 Jan 2016 at 15:33 Eddy Quicksall
