[issue45535] Enum's dir() does not contain inherited members

Ethan Furman added the comment: Fixed in 3.11. Pure enums have a few more dir() entries now; mixed enums now show all inherited methods/attributes -- members still do not show up in member dirs (this is a good thing). -- resolution: -> fixed stage: patch review -> resolved status:

[issue45535] Enum's dir() does not contain inherited members

Alex Waygood added the comment: I would argue it's quite important for `IntEnum` to have the dunder methods inherited from `int` show up in `help()`. Dunder methods indicate that an object has certain behaviours, so it's important for a user to be able to verify that an `IntEnum` member has

[issue45535] Enum's dir() does not contain inherited members

Ethan Furman added the comment: Enums have had a custom dir() from the beginning, partly because they are not standard objects and do not follow standard rules. The question posed by this issue is whether Enums with mixed-in data types should show the inherited methods, and if yes, should

[issue45535] Enum's dir() does not contain inherited members

Alex Waygood added the comment: I had a go at writing a patch for `__dir__` that would include any methods an enum class had acquired through `int`/`str`/etc. mixins, while continuing to ignore enum dunders and sunders (as is currently the case). My patch also allows user-defined methods

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka : For example: >>> from enum import * >>> class E(IntEnum): ... x = 1 ... >>> dir(E) ['__class__', '__doc__', '__members__', '__module__', 'x'] >>> E.from_bytes >>> E.to_bytes >>> E.numerator >>> E.__add__ There are methods and attributes
