Python's enums cannot be changed. Once set, C.KA cannot be changed to 1 I am not sure what you are saying. The OP's class is not an enum in the enum module sense. Class attributues are usually mutable. >>> class C: K = 0 >>> C.K = 1 >>> C.K 1 -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Use enum:
>>> import enum
>>> C = enum.IntEnum("C", ["KA", "KB", "KC"], start=0)
>>> C.KB
>>> C.KB == 1
True

Python's enums cannot be changed. Once set, C.KA cannot be changed to 1 (for example). We may not add element Km (where m>n) at some later occasion after class definition-time (in fact the __new__() constructor is 're-wired' in order to prohibit its use post-definition). It is not permitted to sub-class an existing enum class, eg C(), perhaps to enlarge it with more members, if the 'super class' contains "members". There is usually no need for an __init__. Plus, I've had a distinct lack of satisfaction playing with that - but YMMV! Sub-classing, and even attempting to use the meta-class seems to be a major challenge (see StackOverflow). It is possible to list the elements using the built-in iterator: for c in C: print( c ) or iterator-conversion: list( C ) and/or accessing the class's 'data-dict' directly: for name, value in C.__members__.items(): -- Regards =dn -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
