+1. There's actually a bit of a weird edge case with IntFlag at the moment, and this would bypass that, at least for the str(). >>> from enum import IntFlag, auto >>> class UF(IntFlag): ... CT_LOW_GRAVITY = auto() ... FLYING = auto() ... >>> UF.CT_LOW_GRAVITY | UF.FLYING <UF.FLYING|CT_LOW_GRAVITY: 3> >>> str(UF.CT_LOW_GRAVITY | UF.FLYING) 'UF.FLYING|CT_LOW_GRAVITY' The "UF." prefix is put on the start of the combined group, which means it's not actually evallable (for what it's worth), and it's that bit inconsistent. I'm absolutely fine with removing the classname altogether, so this would show as "FLYING|CT_LOW_GRAVITY".
