New submission from Paul Pinterits <rawi...@gmail.com>:
In a conversation with Ethan Furman (the author of the enum module) I've been informed that Enum automatically checks whether the _missing_ method has returned an instance of the correct class, and raises a TypeError if not. (Link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52064774/1222951) However, this simply does not happen. ``` import enum class MyEnum(enum.Enum): FOO = "foo" @classmethod def _missing_(cls, value): return 5 print(MyEnum('bar')) # output: 5 ``` ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 324282 nosy: Paul Pinterits priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Enum._missing_ doesn't raise TypeError when a non-Enum object is a returned type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34536> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
