I don't feel strongly about allowing ()-lookup in addition to []-lookup, but
in this paragraph the issue of multiple definitions has sneaked in :-)
flufl.enum disallows this:
class Color(Enum):
red = 1
blue = 2
green = 1 # oops!
Has it been decided that this is now allowed?
I don't recall if it was decided. I think it should be possible to
create aliases like this. The main thing I care about is that
Color.green == Color.red.
I believe that Barry had decided that it should be prohibited. I objected, and
Nick pointed out that although declaring two enums with the same value inside
the class is prohibited, aliases are supported by adding them from the outside:
class Color(Enum):
red = 1
blue = 2
Color.green = Color.red
which satisfies me.
