Ethan, the suggestion has come up several times about using a dummy value such
as the empty tuple to do autonumbering, thus looking more Pythonic. I'm not a
huge fan of the empty tuple, and I'm still not sure whether we need this, but I
wonder if it would be possible to not have a new base class, but to put the
smarts in the value to which the enums were assigned. E.g. is this possible (a
separate question than whether it's good :):
from enum import Enum, auto
class Color(Enum):
red = auto
green = auto
blue = auto
Apologies if this has already been suggested; this tracker thread is too long
to read the whole thing. :(
