Hello pydev,
PEP 435 is ready for final review. A lot of the feedback from the last few
weeks of discussions has been incorporated.
I still would like to see Nick's class-based API preferred over the
functional API:
class Season(Enum, members='spring summer autumn'):
pass
The PEP doesn't even mention it, even though you got significant
pushback on the proposed _getframe() hack for pickling (including
mentions that IronPython and Cython may not support it), and nobody
seemed to be unhappy with the class-based proposal.
Agreed that the PEP should mention it.
-1 on using it.
We don't need two different ways to use class syntax.
The functional interface is there for two reasons:
- to easily create enums dynamically (fairly rare, I'm sure)
- to easily create enums when prototyping or at the interactive prompt (I'll
use it all the time -- it's convenient! ;)
