Think I've come up with a system that works for my auto-numbering case without knowing the internals of enum_type. Patch passes all existing test cases. The patch does two things: 1. Finds the first non-Enum class on the MRO of the new class and uses that as the enum type.
This is good. :)
2. Instead of directly setting the _name and _value of the enum_item, it lets the Enum class do it via Enum.__init__(). Subclasses can override this. This gives Enums a 2-phase construction just like other classes.
Not sure I care for this. Enums are, at least in theory, immutable objects, and immutable objects don't call __init__. Of course, practicality beats purity... I'll have to think about this some more. Fortunately, none of this has any bearing on the PEP itself. -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ 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
