A question that comes up quite a bit on Stackoverflow is how to test to see if a value will result in an Enum member, preferably without having to go through the whole try/except machinery.
A couple versions ago one could use a containment check: if 1 in Color: but than was removed as Enums are considered containers of members, not containers of the member values. It was also possible to define one's own `_missing_` method and have it return None or the value passed in, but that has also been locked down to either return a member or raise an exception. At this point I see three options: 1) add a `get(value, default=None)` to EnumMeta (similar to `dict.get()` 2) add a recipe to the docs 3) do nothing Thoughts? -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/N6C2ROUCSLEPPH34BTFQNQE4ZM63WUWC/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
