I have for a long time approved of ‘flufl.enum’ becoming the One Obvious Way to do enumerations, and am glad to see PEP 435 bring it into the standard library. <URL:http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2011-July/010811.html> There are some people still contacting me about their use of the ‘enum’ package on PyPI, so I think that to just replace it with a different code base under the same name would not be helpful. > Would it be inappropriate to call it `stdlib.enum`? That sounds good to me. Is there anything I can do to keep the ‘enum’ package online for continuity but make it clear, to automated tools, that this is end-of-life and obsoleted by another package? -- \ “Free thought is a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition | `\ for democracy.” —Carl Sagan | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ 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
