FWIW I'm +0.5 on "the enum metaclass ignores callables and
descriptors". This seems reasonably Pythonic, much more so than "ignore
everything except ints and strings". And as long as we're
special-casing it I think we should opt for flexibility. Certainly I see
nothing wrong with enums of float, complex, Decimal, and Fraction, so I
don't see a good place to draw the line with a whitelist.
A whitelist, if we go that route, should be on a per Enum basis -- so
something like:
class Planets(str, Enum):
PLUTO = 'it is too a planet!'
MERCURY = 'definitely a planet'
SATURN = 'darn big planet'
solar_mass = 82738273 # or some really big number
light_year = 1827499 # another really big number (of feet!)
def horrorscope(self, message):
return ('%s will be in retrograde... '
'don't communicate today.' % self)
and only PLUTO, MERCURY, and SATURN would be converted to enums.
