No, you are not only one that's bothered by it. I tried it without assignments until I discovered that bugs are way too
easy to introduce. The problem is a successful name lookup looks just like a name failure, but of course no error is
raised and no new enum item is created:
--> class Color(Enum):
... red, green, blue
...
--> class MoreColor(Color):
... red, orange, yellow
...
--> type(MoreColor.red) is MoreColor
False
--> MoreColor.orange
<MoreColor.orange: 4> # value should be 5
About the closest you going to be able to get is something like:
def e(_next=[1]):
e, _next[0] = _next[0], _next[0] + 1
return e
class Color(Enum):
red = e()
green = e()
blue = e()
and you can keep using `e()` for all your enumerations, since you don't care what actual value each enumeration member
happens to get.
