New submission from Antony Lee <anntzer....@gmail.com>:
Currently, enum.auto doesn't work with the new (Py3.10) StrEnum: `class E(enum.StrEnum): a = enum.auto()` results in `TypeError: 1 is not a string`. I would guess that the most reasonable behavior for auto() in a StrEnum would be to return the name itself, as implemented in the AutoName example at https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/enum.html#using-automatic-values. I believe that this may just be a matter of copying the corresponding `_generate_next_value_` implementation into the definition of StrEnum? ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 381220 nosy: Antony.Lee priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Should enum.auto's behavior be adjusted for StrEnum to return the enum name? versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42385> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
