Eli Bendersky added the comment: The whole point of IntEnum and replacing stdlib constants with it was friendly str & repr out of the box. This means that "just printing out" an enum member should have a nice string representation. And "just printing out" means:
print(member) "%s" % member "{}".format(member) !s/!r are quite esoteric - IntEnum should behave in the nicest way possible out of the box. Let's just rig IntEnum's __format__ to do the right thing and not worry about Enum itself. I hope that mixin-with-Enum cases are rare (and most are IntEnum anyway), and in such rare cases users are free to lift the implementation from IntEnum. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18738> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
