New submission from Antony Lee <[email protected]>:
A quick check suggests that enum entries can be programmatically created by
assigning to locals() in the Enum body:
class E(Enum): locals()["a"] = 1
E.a # -> <E.a: 'a'>
However, using locals().update(...) doesn't, and silently does the wrong thing:
class E(Enum): locals().update({"a": "a"})
E.a # -> 'a'
(Yes, in this simple case, I could just use the functional API (`E = Enum("E",
[("a", "a")])`), but the above is simpler if I also want e.g. to define methods
for the Enum.
