Per my subsequent self-reply, they are only incompatible when trying to do them at the same time in the same class definition. It works great to combine them by defining the dataclass as a mixin for the Enum class. Why would it not be good to include that as an example in the official docs, assuming (as I believe) that it is a particularly useful combination? _______________________________________________ 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/VFGXT4QOWYF3UJVWYOR54GNTKEG2XT7D/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
