In any case my suggestion of a new keyword was not meant to be taken seriously.
I don't think it need be taken entirely as a joke, either. All the proposed patterns for creating enums that I've seen end up leaving something to be desired. They violate DRY by requiring you to write the class name twice, or they make you write the names of the values in quotes, or some other minor ugliness. While it may be possible to work around these things with sufficient levels of metaclass hackery and black magic, at some point one has to consider whether new syntax might be the least worst option. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
