You couldn't create an enum of callables, but that would be a

But aren't all classes callable?

An enum of classes would be seriously weird as well, I think.


I don't think iscallable will work, since that descriptors like
staticmethod and classmethod aren't callable. Nor are properties.


I think a solution may be an explicit decorator that tells the
metaclass not to skip the object into an enum value:


class Insect(enum.Enum):
    ant = 1
    bee = 2

    @enum.skip
    @classmethod
    def spam(cls, args):
        pass


assert isinstance(Insect.spam, classmethod)



One side effect of this is that now you can (ab)use the decorator
to have regular data attributes. Whether that counts as a good
thing or a bad thing, I leave up to others to decide...
